UNSW Village, Sydney

You will not be able to access your room or leave any belongings in the property before your contract starts.

The kitchens are already kitted out with basic amenities, such as the fridge and the microwave. However, you will need to supply your own utilities such as a toaster, kettle, and sandwich press for example. If you live in shared accommodation, you can always wait until you meet your roommates to organise a group shop to figure out what everyone has brought along with them.

The office is open standard business hours on Saturday and closed on Sunday.

If you do plan to arrive outside of office hours, please call the Resident Assistant on duty.

If you plan to arrive very late at night or early in the morning, please give them as much notice as possible so they can ensure someone is there to welcome you.

Unfortunately, they only accept students of the University of New South Wales (UNSW).

If you are a domestic first-year student applying through UAC / VTAC / QTAC / TISC you may be eligible for First Year Exemption.

You are eligible if: 

* You did not get accepted to the university 

* Were accepted to another university 

* The course is now wholly offered online (i.e. not being taught internally)

If your contract has not commenced you will be refunded your Bond.

If your contract has started, you are liable for rent until you are notified that you are moving out of the property. Your Bond will be refunded.

Please note the First Year Exemption policy will not apply where you have accepted a university offer but have chosen to defer or withdraw from your studies. You must notify property management in writing (resident notification) within 5 days of the UAC / VTAC / QTAC / TISC Main Round offers release date (generally around late January – refer to the UAC / VTAC / QTAC / TISC website for actual dates) to claim the First Year Exemption policy.

Property management fosters independent living while also accommodating students who are just moving out of home for the first time. There is a strong communal atmosphere among the residents which helps students adjust to a more self-sufficient lifestyle while they learn to look after themselves through their cooking, laundry, and housekeeping duties.

There are many options for residents to become involved in the property community. There are heaps of opportunities to make new friends and create a memorable university experience, and if you prefer more time alone or in quiet they also have the right spaces for you.

In the case of any queries, the property team is always there for support in case the student is looking for assistance.

During the application process, you are welcome to advise them of any flatmate requests. Please note that although they will do their best to accommodate requests, your room is not confirmed until the day you arrive at the property.

When you arrive at the property you will be asked to provide your student ID card.

If you are a first year university student and have not received your student ID you must provide your letter of offer as your proof of enrolment upon check-in and provide your student card once you have received it.

The property does not provide catering. However each apartment has access to a fully equipped kitchen including a fridge, freezer, stovetop and microwave, so feel free to cook up a storm at any time of the day.

The property is located approximately a 2 minute walk to the library.

No, none of their apartments are fitted with a TV set. There are TV aerials located in the lounge room and bedrooms.

They recommend waiting until you have arrived at the property before purchasing a TV set as your flatmates may already have one that you can share.

There is the option of a taxi from the airport to the property, at an approximate cost of AU$35.

There is also the 400 bus route from the airport that runs directly past the university. For concession cards this is approximately AU$1.75; for adults, it is a fare of AU$3.50.

Roommate allocations are conducted by any requests, such as study preference, age, and gender. To make a request, you will be prompted to include these during the application process.

You will be advised of your room allocation upon moving into the property.

Please note that while they do endeavor to accommodate all roommate requests, they are sometimes unable to, and cannot guarantee or make any promises. They will do their best!

No, there are no telephones in any of the apartments.

You can absolutely come and visit the property and meet their friendly team before making it your new home.

They hope to see you soon!

No, you don't need to find your own room mates.

If you are interested in a shared apartment, they will try and allocate you with similar people to yourself.

If you do have people you want to live with, please put each other's names down in the room mate preferences in your application. Please note this is just a request, they cannot guarantee room mate requests due to high demand.

They recommend bringing the bare minimum when you first arrive, that way you and your new roommates can work out who buys what, to avoid a double up of certain items. However, below is a list of what you’ll need:

• A photocopy of your ID, such as a Passport or Driver's License to assist in your check-in
• Bedding/Linen including a pillow
• Towels and tea towels
• Food and household supplies - until you can arrange a group shop with your housemates
• Cooking equipment, crockery, cutlery, glasses, cooking utensils etc.
• Laundry supplies – some areas have clotheslines for communal use, and all laundries have dryers
• Toasters, irons, ironing boards, TVs, etc. – although some residents wait until meeting their roommates on arrival to share the costs of small appliances.

Unfortunately the property does not offer any financial assistance.

Although they do not encourage overnight guests, they do understand that you may have someone stay from time to time. Please make sure that you sign your guest into reception upon arrival and sign them out on departure.

As per the property rules, you can have a guest stay no more than 2 consecutive nights in a 7 day period and they must be respectful of the property rules.

For domestic students, you must be at least 18 years old or turning 18 by the end of the semester you are moving in to be eligible to live at the property. In addition, a completed Guarantor Form must be submitted before the room confirmation can be processed.

For international students, they cannot accept applications until you have turned 18.

If you are successful, you will receive a letter of offer to stay at the property via email.

Please note, an offer can only be sent if all steps of the application process have been completed.

Living in shared accommodation means that everyone needs to pitch in to keep the apartment clean and tidy.

If there are apartment disputes you can arrange with reception to have their property management mediate an apartment meeting.

Full apartment inspections will occur each semester. They will advise you prior to inspections occurring so that you have adequate notice.

All mail is delivered to the property. It is sorted, and each student will receive an email letting them know they have mail and are required to come to reception to pick it up.
