Wollongong attracts students from all over Australia and the world. There are a number of accommodation options for students relocating to Wollongong.

UOW College Homestay allows students to live with a caring local family and be immersed in the Australian way of life. There are many benefits gained from this rich cultural exchange. Students are welcomed as a new member of the household and supported as they adapt to the new culture and lifestyle.

While UOW College Homestay is popular with International students, it can also be used by domestic students. It's available for all kinds of students, including:

All UOW College students are able to apply to live in one of the various UOW Student residences. UOW offers a range of accommodation options conveniently located both on-campus and in the surrounding areas. Student residences offer vibrant communities, with students from diverse cultural backgrounds enjoying being part of an active community, and many make friends for life.

All residences feature student development and peer mentor programs, social, sporting and cultural events, and 24/7 student wellbeing care. Utilities, furniture, laundry and limited car parking are available at each residence.

Demand for UOW accommodation can be quite high so students are encouraged to apply early.

Choosing the right type of accommodation is an important decision - with many factors including cost and location influencing your decision. Some students opt to join a local share house or rent privately. When choosing a place to live, make sure you take your time and think carefully about what you are looking for.
