I would encourage first time students to enroll into University Accommodations, which are slightly priced higher than the surrounding properties. However, if you have any friend/acquaintance you may look at the prospects of leasing a house nearby the Wollongong campus. The weekly rent would vary somewhere between $150 to $250 depending on the accommodation.

Having done my masters' from IIT-Roorkee, I wanted to explore the field of railway geotechnical engineering. The iconic railway lab facilities at the University of Wollongong compelled me to apply to the University. I was inspired by the state-of-the-art research being carried out at UoW and wanted to learn and pursue research in the field of experimental geotechnics.

I’ve chosen to live off campus as university accommodation is expensive. The average on a weekly basis including bills can be anywhere between $100 -$180 If living off campus. On-campus accommodation is nearly $300 a week.

It was located in a suburban area with good views. It has the courses I required and also was one of the top 10 universities in Australia.

I live in a private accomodation. It is bit on the expensive end but comes with privacy and independence.

It was pure luck that I found this university while searching a good institute for me to continue my higher studies and at that time I found this university and got really impressed by it's lab facilities and research program.

I love the campus and the quality of education is high also the student satisfaction rate is high and the employability rate is high not to mention the good international reputation of the university. Also, there are so many extracurricular that you can do and an amazing library.

Because it was local. Having a university only 10 minutes from my house means I am able to save money by staying at home and using public transport to get to and from my university on any given day. It also means I am able to remain at my current job.

I chose this college because it has a reputable law faculty and is close to home as I live in Wollongong, access to the university is simple and cheap through a free shuttle bus. Many people I know also go there which is beneficial for my social life.
