At UTS College, our students have the flexibility of choosing a range of accommodation options that suit their needs. This includes staying with a local Australian family at Homestay or staying with our partner student residence, Scape.
Homestay
Students under 18 can experience life in Australia in an authentic way and practise English by living with a local
homestay family. It also provides a safe and supportive home environment as they will have host parents looking after them. The homestays are located in Sydney suburbs approximately 45-60 minutes away from campus.
A Special Accommodation Arrangement can also be made if the student has friends or family living in Australia, but strict criteria must be met.
For more information about Homestay or Special Accommodation Arrangements, email the Accommodation and Welfare team.
Scape
Scape aims to be students’ home away from home. It is one of Australia’s largest providers of student accommodation, and UTS College has a partnership with them so we can create student communities beyond the classrooms.
They're modern, safe and conveniently located - just five to 10 minutes away from campus and iconic attractions, so they can make the most out of their Sydney study experience.
Exclusive prices and welcome packs are available for students who book at Scape Quay, which is an over 18s only residence that is located directly opposite the UTS College Blue Building campus. It also features several floors dedicated to UTS College students, so they can share accommodation with their classmates.
Students under 18 can book at Scape Darling Square and Scape Darling Harbour.
