The University of Newcastle provides a variety of on-campus accommodation options to suit diverse student preferences and budgets. At the Callaghan campus, students can choose from five residential colleges: Edwards Hall, International House, Evatt House, Barahineban, and the recently built New Residences. These accommodations offer fully furnished rooms, common areas, and facilities such as study spaces, recreational areas, and dining options. Living on campus fosters a strong sense of community and provides convenient access to academic and social resources. Additionally, the university's proximity to Newcastle's city center offers students off-campus housing options, including apartments and shared houses, catering to those who prefer independent living arrangements

The University of Newcastle's Accommodation Services team assists students in securing suitable housing by providing information on on-campus residences, guiding the application process, and offering advice on off-campus housing options. The team also organizes accommodation tours and information sessions to help students make informed decisions. For those seeking off-campus housing, the university offers resources on understanding rental agreements, tenant rights, and budgeting for living expenses. This comprehensive support ensures that students find comfortable and secure living arrangements that enhance their university experience.
