Our buzzing student community offers an unbeatable lifestyle and an award-winning student experience. Walk to class in minutes and make lifelong friends in a fun, nurturing community centred around your education.

The UNSW Kensington campus is desirably located between Sydney’s coastal eastern suburbs and bustling city centre. Trains, buses, ferries, and light rail connect UNSW campuses to Sydney. You are only a short bus trip from the famous Coogee or Bondi beaches! You can also take a light rail trip to Sydney’s inner city and iconic harbour. 

Every room includes utilities, fast Wi-Fi, secure facilities and staff to support you at no extra cost. Many options include catered meals, an ensuite and room cleaning services. Our student apartments, colleges and facilities are safe and secure. Should you ever need assistance, the UNSW campus security team is only a call away.  

College life is vibrant and full of exciting social events and experiences to enrich your university journey. Something always brings our community together, from themed parties and cultural events to sports competitions and movie nights. Explore beyond Sydney on a day trip or support fundraising initiatives for youth charities like Headspace and Beyond Blue. Every activity offers a chance to build meaningful connections with friends who become like family and shape your university experience.

While you’ll have countless social opportunities, it’s only natural to want some ‘me time’ too. Your private room on campus is your space to customise and make comfy. There are study areas where you can quietly work or complete your group project. Additionally, there are quiet nooks, green spaces, and sunny corners nearby. Cafés are also within walking distance, providing perfect spots to sit with your laptop and study.

When you live on campus, you join a proud culture committed to excellence in a community centred around your education. Our residents receive academic mentorship, make more peer connections and often study together. Social events are held outside of study and exam periods. UNSW’s learning spaces and student support services are conveniently located at your doorstep. 

It's no surprise that on average, our residents achieve higher marks than other students!

Every year our diverse and inclusive campus accommodation becomes home to students from all over Australia and the world. Our current residents represent 60 nationalities, allowing students to share and experience new cultures and make friends from across the globe.

The connections you make living on campus will form the foundation of your professional network. Each college has an elected House Committee, allowing you to discover your leadership potential and connect with like-minded peers. Here you can take responsibility for organising social, cultural, sporting, and fundraising events. Every college has a team of Resident Assistants, employed part-time, to provide academic and pastoral support to fellow residents. Additionally, Student Fellows create and run wellbeing initiatives.

Many residents become elected members of the university’s Student Representative Council or leaders of our student organisation, Arc.  

Our alumni include industry leaders and celebrated innovators. They use skills and networks developed while living on campus to build successful careers and positively impact the world.

We’re committed to supporting you to discover your potential.
