UWA Guaranteed Accommodation
A guaranteed home for new students
Organise your accommodation now so you can focus on planning your studies and enjoying the time before uni starts.
Take a look at our five residential colleges, each of which offers a unique campus living experience. Our Guaranteed Accommodation Offer means you can pick any of these options or choose UWA-owned off-campus housing (Crawley Village) or the student accommodation in Perth’s CBD that’s been endorsed by us. Either way, you’re guaranteed a bed. Just one thing – while we can guarantee your place, you'll still need to pay the usual accommodation fees and costs.
Who's eligible?
New full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students
Domestic and international students
Exchange students and study abroad students
Transferring students from other institutions
Taylors College Foundation Program students
Centre for English Language Teaching students
Our residential colleges
St Catherine's College
St Catherine’s College offers on-campus accommodation with superb facilities for 400 university students. It is a college where residents succeed academically and make lifelong friendships.
St George's College
St George's College supports your personal, social and intellectual development, while offering student care, wide opportunities and a fully inclusive package.
St Thomas More College
St Thomas More College, redeveloped in 2016, has 400 single rooms with a thriving outreach and career development program as well as an inclusive community.
Trinity Residential College
Trinity Residential College provides a fully catered living-learning community for 350 students, set among lush gardens, which includes a second-to-none experience in academic support and pastoral care.
University Hall
University Hall is UWA’s own residential college, providing more than 750 students with a vibrant community complete with events, programs, pastoral care and personal support.
Off-campus accommodation
Off-campus accommodation suits students who want a more independent style of living or the benefits of living in the Perth CBD. Postgraduate and mature-age students might prefer living in Crawley Village, an informal grouping of UWA-owned apartment-style housing in the streets neighbouring the University.
In 2019, two new student housing options opened in Perth’s CBD. We have endorsed both The Boulevard and Campus Perth as accommodation options for our students. Both offer shared and single occupancy rooms.
