Pay it your way

Accommodation in the private rental market is expensive in inner Sydney; our accommodation is, in most instances, 25% below comparable market rates. You will live in a furnished apartment with rents that include water gas, electricity, internet and support services. As UTS' residence is on the doorstep of the City campus, most students will save money on travel costs to the University.

Additionally, UTS local students starting their first session of studies at UTS with low income may be eligible for UTS Housing Rental Subsidy. View the eligibility criteria and more details on the financial assistance programs page.

Close and secure

Our security staff are on duty 24 hours, seven days a week, to assist in any emergency. We’ve got all the relevant external regulations covered (e.g. fire safety, occupational health and safety).  As for policies and procedures that promote a positive residential community free from discrimination, harassment and unsafe or unhealthy behaviour, we’ve got that covered too.

In addition, Yura Mudang (UTS' residence) has Residential Networkers living in their midst.  Residential Networkers are 'more senior,’ experienced residents who are people students can look up to, answer all your questions about uni residential life, and enjoy providing support to new students.

Yura Mudang (UTS Housing residence) is located right above UTS Building 6 and is close to Sydney's transport hub, providing easy access to Central station, numerous buses, and light rail. Because you are so close to everything, , it is easy to be involved in extracurricular and social academic activities, community activities such as weekend barbeques, casual sporting events, or just getting to know other people. It makes residential life both personally satisfying and academically rewarding.

Residential Life offers you a unique opportunity to develop strong friendships with people from diverse backgrounds, and enjoy cultural exchange experiences that often might not be available in other environments. Living at University Residences will mean you can potentially connect with hundreds of students. 

Students will often find that their social and interpersonal skills are enhanced when they form friendships and experience the challenges that come with living in a diverse community. Students are challenged to overcome cultural biases and stereotypes and develop friendships that make it a satisfying experience living in student residences.

At UTS Housing, you will be part of a community that is encouraged to be mutually supportive to ensure that everyone adapts to the new environment, stays focused on academic success and contributes to a positive University experience.
