Housing

In Australia most students attend a university in their own city. As a result, Australian universities have limited accommodation on campus for students. Most local students either live at home or stay in private shared accommodation in the suburbs surrounding the university. The Accommodation Services Central Office assists students to find accommodation while they are at UNSW. In addition to managing the University's accommodation they also keep a database of off-campus accommodation in the local area.
