LOCATION AND ACCOMMODATION

The main UTS City campus is conveniently located in the city centre, while the Kuring-gai campus is a short bus ride away, nestled in the bush of the Kuring-gai National Park. All of Sydney's main attractions are a short stroll or bus/train ride away from the UTS campuses, making UTS the perfect University from which to experience Sydney and Australia.

UTS is surrounded by popular student suburbs such as Surry Hills, Glebe and Newtown, and the majority of UTS international students choose to live in private accommodation in and around the city, often sharing with other students. However, some students choose to live in a number of UTS student residences located only minutes from the City campus. Accommodation for UTS students is organised by the UTS Housing Service, where the International Housing Officer can find suitable temporary, private or University accommodation for new students. Visit the UTS Housing website for more information.
