Student Accommodation:

The University of Canberra offers a number of accommodation options for future and current students. You can choose to apply to live in campus accommodation or to arrange accommodation out in the Canberra community.

Please remember that at certain times throughout the year, especially at the beginning of each Semester, it can be extremely difficult to find and secure accommodation in Canberra, it is therefore very important you start your search early.

By living in campus accommodation at Weeden Lodge, University of Canberra Village or Arscott House, you will become a member of a diverse and stimulating community. Experience the excitement of living in a truly multi-national community and making new friends with both local and international students.
