Overview
UNSW Hall provides shared living spaces that encourage social interaction without sacrificing privacy and independence. It is ideal for students seeking a more casual, budget-friendly living option with opportunities to engage in college life at their own pace. The college fosters a diverse and inclusive community, making it an excellent fit for those eager to connect with others while concentrating on their studies.
This college provides complete catering services with three nutritious meals each day. Residents enjoy their meals in the historic Goldstein Dining Hall, located just a short walk away.
With a positive culture, vibrant social life, and a thriving international student community, UNSW Hall excels in creating a welcoming environment.
Today, UNSW Hall continues to be a popular and highly regarded accommodation option for students. It provides a supportive and inclusive community where students can thrive academically and socially.
Student support
You’ll be supported by an on-site team comprising of the Dean, Deputy Dean and a team of Resident Fellows (or RFs). Every floor has an RF, and their job is to provide academic guidance and pastoral support and ensure each and every resident is looked after.
Academically, we run peer-led study groups to support students adjust to the academic requirements of university – in addition, we also run shared study sessions along with wellbeing programs co-ordinated by our Wellbeing Officer, helping to make the transition from high school to university a smooth one.

Resident and Student Fellows
Resident Fellows (RFs) are staff members of UNSW and typically in their final years of study or already holding a degree. RFs live with the students on their floors and provide daily academic and pastoral support. RFs aren’t teachers, but they’re a little like a supportive older sibling with loads of experience to pass on and a willingness to help guide the residents.
Student Fellow (SF) is assigned every year. They’re a volunteer senior student whose role who works closely with the RF's, Deputy Dean and Dean, ensuring the wellbeing of all residents is top of mind.
