It is therefore your responsibility to find somewhere to live. Before you come to the University, make sure you have allowed for housing costs in your budget. Accommodation in Sydney is more expensive than in many other parts of Australia, and cheap places to stay are rare. The University has self contained apartments for groups of students to share. At present, only a limited number of places are available, at the Mulwarree Apartments, which are a 15 minutes walk from the main campus.
Priority is given to applicants from outside Sydney.
Only single accommodation is available. There are 315 places available in apartments, each with five single bedrooms. An extra 101 places in 31 apartments are planned for 1998. Basic furniture is provided and each apartment includes kitchen and laundry facilities. Cost is expected to increase in 1999.
