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.

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 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

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.
