UNSW Village

Pack your books, swimmers and a towel and catch the bus to Coogee Beach from right outside your door. Grab a coffee or fresh juice from X74 and sit under a pine tree or lie on the soft sand to read. Follow the coastal walk to Bronte or all the way to Bondi Beach, looking out at sparkling blue sea and white sandstone cliffs as you go. On your way back, stop off at the shops at Bondi Junction or Randwick. After dark, meet friends for sushi at Manpuku, before enjoying live music at The Roundhouse.

You’re living right beside the main University of New South Wales Kensington campus, so you can walk to its courtyard in five minutes and reach the Fitness and Aquatic Centre in just two.

Make the most of your downtime and have fun with friends in the student lounge at UNSW Village. This buzzing hub is spread over three floors, so you can watch TV, let off steam in the games room or make coffee in the communal kitchen. There are lots of residents’ events to keep you busy, including shows and performances at the spacious on-site theatre.

When you’re short on time, pick up a coffee and a pastry in the on-site café, then make a start on your latest assignment in the group or private study spaces. You can even get ready for class the next day by prepping a presentation on the screens in the e-library. Don’t get stressed if exams are just around the corner - there are regular seminars and study groups at UNSW Village to help.

Back in your fully furnished apartment, make dinner in your sleek fitted kitchen, then eat in comfort in the dining area. If you don’t feel like cooking, take a walk to nearby Anzac Parade and meet friends for dinner at Angelo’s Portugalia. When you want dinner delivered to your door, order a takeaway through the UNSW Village Facebook page and benefit from exclusive discounts at local eateries.

There’s a laundry on-site, so you don’t have to travel far to get your washing done, and there are resident assistants on hand if you need any help. Security is a top priority, so there’s 24-hour staff and security patrols for your peace of mind.
