Students must apply independently for housing in Wollongong, just as Australian students do. Students interested in University accommodation should apply for this option as soon as Indiana University accepts them to the program. Please visit the University of Wollongong's Accommodation Service for details.

Overseas Study encourages students to apply for more than one housing option simultaneously as there is limited space available. Some housing options will require an application fee and an extensive application. If there is no availability in University accommodation, students will need to consider other housing options such as private rental accommodation. If you have questions, please contact Overseas Study.

Students must be able to demonstrate flexibility, resilience, and self-reliance.

Complete eligibility criteria and selection criteria are outlined within the Academic Policies and Procedures of the Office of Overseas Study.
