Many students say one of the best parts of the university experience is living in a residence. UOW Student Residences offer vibrant communities, with students from diverse cultural backgrounds. Our residents enjoy being part of an active community, and many make friends for life.

2026 Session 2 only: We are experiencing high demand for all room types and Residences. Unfortunately, it is very unlikely that we will be able to offer you accommodation before July 2026. For information about off-campus accommodation, please see our Live Off campus page. The UOW Student Housing Support Officer is available to help students navigate the private rental market and can be contacted at housing-support@uow.edu.au for assistance.

2027 Session 1 & 2: Applications open 27 June 2026. Offers will begin later in the year, please refer to the 2027 offer timeline.
