You’ll live like a true Sydneysider, surrounded by local shops, the racecourse and heaps more.

I’m a research student, currently in my third year at the School of Chemistry and I moved to Australia from Mumbai, India in mid-2013.

For the first few months of living here, I stayed with relatives and had to endure a pretty long commute to UNSW every day, so when I finally made the decision to live on campus at Cowper Street, I was able to save a lot of time and energy! I’ve met heaps of wonderful people from lots of different backgrounds from all around the world 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 tough part was finding a place to live.

Coming from another country, I didn’t know much about the reliability of private rental providers, so making the decision to book a university apartment was an easy decision. After arriving, I found Cowper Street to be satisfying in nearly every way and I’ve decided to stay on while I continue 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."
