Housing is not arranged by Education Abroad. Students must apply independently for housing in Perth, just as Australian students do. Education Abroad encourages students to apply for more than one housing option simultaneously as there is limited space available. However, some housing options will require an application fee and an extensive application. 

UWA has five Residential Colleges located directly across the street from campus. They feature fully-furnished rooms and a variety of meal plan options. 

Alternatively, Campus Perth, The Boulevard (by Yugo) and The Switch are student accommodation properties endorsed by UWA, but many venues are on a waitlist. Shared and single rooms are available, and the locations are close to public transport to UWA.

UWA also partners with Australian Homestay Network (AHN) for students who want to live with a local Perth family. 

Please visit the University of Western Australia's Accommodation Service for more information.
