I’m a research student in my third year at the School of Chemistry. I moved to Australia from Mumbai, India, in mid-2023.
I stayed with relatives for the first few months of living here, and I had to endure a long commute. When I finally decided to live on campus at Cowper Street, I saved a lot of time and energy! I’ve met wonderful people from many different backgrounds worldwide, and my flatmates are some of the best people I’ve met.
Li Quan | Student
I’m an international student from China studying information technology (masters). After receiving an offer to study at UNSW, the tricky part was finding a place to live.
Coming from another country, I didn’t know much about the reliability of private rental providers. Booking a university apartment was an easy decision. After arriving, I found Cowper Street satisfying and decided to stay on while I continued my studies.
"Cowper Street isn’t like typical university-style accommodation. Living here feels more like living in the suburbs of Sydney, just like any other local Australian."
