Student accommodation on campus

ELICOS students may like to take on-campus accommodation at UC — this is a good way to get to know students, both Australian and international, from the university itself. In the UC residences, a student will occupy a single room, furnished with at least a bed, desk and wardrobe. Bathroom and kitchen facilities are shared. If you would like to live in the student residences, please let us know at the time of your application to study.

Share accommodation

Student groups often want to live together an apartment or house in suburban Canberra. Sharing like this can reduce accommodation costs for individual students. We can offer advice on how to find this kind of accommodation.

A list of rental accommodation off-campus can be found on the Student Accommodation website.

For information or advice on accommodation possibilities, it is best to contact the ELICOS Administrative Officer at the time of your application.
