It can be hard knowing where to look for accommodation when you are new to Sydney.
Student residences are a great option as they are centrally located. They are set up to give students a lot of support, especially when you first arrive and need to find your feet in an unfamiliar city.
There are also lots of housing options in the private rental market. If you're looking for this kind of accommodation, many websites advertise shared housing in Sydney, for example, Flatmates.com. If you use these websites, make sure you go to inspect the property before you make any payments.
UTS has a private listings service, which will also make searching for an apartment or a room easier.
As a UTS College student, you can access the service, but you'll need to register using your student number and other details. The listing shows rooms and properties available and tells you the distance between them and our city campuses.
Again, if you want to rent one of the rooms listed, you should call the contact person and arrange a viewing before deciding and making payment.
