Living On-Campus - Residential Colleges

There are five residential colleges situated close to the main UWA campus.  All five colleges are situated in pleasant surroundings across the road from The University.  St Catherine’s College provides accommodation for female students only. The other four colleges provide accommodation for both male and female students.  Students have their own bedroom but usually share bathroom facilities.  All colleges provide full-board accommodation for the academic year and offer a friendly, supportive atmosphere with resident tutors, who are available to assist students with their studies. 

Because the residential colleges are a popular choice, you should submit your application before the end of the preceding academic year; preferably at least 4 to 5 months before you are due to start your studies at UWA.

You should apply to the college of your first choice.  If your application for the college of your first choice is unsuccessful, then that college will forward your application to the college listed as your second preference (and so forth).  The approximate cost for college accommodation is $325 per week, plus ingoing charges. Higher rates may apply over the vacation period.

All of the residential colleges are run independently and have no connection with the UWA Housing Service.

Further information is available by visiting the individual colleges websites, or contacting them directly.  See our information sheet for a breakdown of the residential colleges costs for 2009.
