On-campus residences
Choose a residence
With eight residences to choose from at Callaghan campus and one at our Ourimbah campus, you'll have the unique opportunity to design your ideal on-campus lifestyle.
Living environments
Customise your on-campus experience by choosing from our different Living Environments, available across our residences. Living Environments allow you to tailor your on-campus lifestyle, so you feel comfortable living with like-minded people.
To help you feel at home, you can choose from the following areas:
- Single Gender – gender is about social and cultural identity, expression and experience. When this option is selected applicants will then be offered a further selection between male gender, female gender and those who identify outside of the male/female gender binary.
- Lifestyle – for those seeking a quieter living environment with minimal alcohol consumption while still enjoying Student Living activities
- General – for residents who do not select any of the other specified living areas
Choose your preferred residence with the Living Environments map.
