Accommodation (18+ only)
Living on campus can be a wonderful experience which
offers you numerous opportunities for engagement in campus
life. UNSW Colleges combine campus life with academic
mentoring, and you can choose from fully-catered, partly-
catered or self-catered options. UNSW Apartments (located
both on and off campus) are designed for more independent
living and some may be suitable for families with children.

A parent's perspective
I have four beautiful children and early
on, my husband and I made a promise
that we would provide them with the best
possible education that we could afford.
When selecting a country, I wanted to be able to see them
during semester breaks. I looked at living costs, standard of
accommodation, safety and my overall peace of mind once
I was separated from them. I discovered that Australia was
close to home, safe, welcoming, offered a good lifestyle
and had many outstanding universities. I also realised
that a pathway program, which provided a good academic
introduction and local classroom experience, was going
to be essential if my children were to succeed.
After considering all the options, I chose the UNSW
Foundation Studies program. Not only did the range of
subjects and teaching standards appeal, but the guaranteed
place in a degree course at UNSW meant I wouldn’t have
to move my children to another university.
My eldest son is currently enrolled in the UNSW Foundation
Studies course. My two daughters have successfully graduated
from UNSW and are now back home working in the family
business. They tell wonderful stories of their friends, the class
activities, the great teachers, vegemite, events on campus, good
restaurants and Sydney’s beaches.
My youngest son, who’s 12, is so excited. He’s already looking
forward to studying at UNSW and can’t wait to go to Sydney
and experience it all for himself.
