Accommodation

UTS is surrounded by popular student suburbs such as Surry Hills, Glebe and Newtown, and the majority of UTS international students choose to live in private accommodation in and around the city, often sharing with other students. However a number of UTS student residences located only minutes from the City campus are home to some students. Accommodation for UTS students is organised by the UTS Housing Service where the International Housing Officer can find suitable temporary, private or University accommodation for new students.
