Cowper Street
Cowper Street Apartments are located a short walk from UNSW in the suburb of Randwick, surrounded by beautifully landscaped lush, green gardens.
Located next to Randwick Racecourse and approximately 1.5 kilometres from UNSW, Cowper Street is the perfect fit for students that are keen to live close to campus, but not right next to the lecture block!
Built in 1994, there are 37 five-bedroom apartments, with an average room size of approximately 10 to 12 square metres.
You’ll live like a true Sydneysider, surrounded by local shops, the racecourse and heaps more.

Aditi Taunk | Student
I’m a research student, currently in my third year at the School of Chemistry and I moved to Australia from Mumbai, India in mid-2013.
For the first few months of living here, I stayed with relatives and had to endure a pretty long commute to UNSW every day, so when I finally made the decision to live on campus at Cowper Street, I was able to save a lot of time and energy! I’ve met heaps of wonderful people from lots of different backgrounds from all around the world and my flatmates are some of the best people I’ve met.
Li Quan | Student
I’m an international student from China studying information technology (masters). After receiving an offer to study at UNSW, the tough part was finding a place to live.
Coming from another country, I didn’t know much about the reliability of private rental providers, so making the decision to book a university apartment was an easy decision. After arriving, I found Cowper Street to be satisfying in nearly every way and I’ve decided to stay on while I continue my studies.
"Cowper Street isn’t like typical university-style accommodation. Living here feels more like living in the suburbs of Sydney, just like any other local Australian."
