Accommodation
Halls of ResidenceThe University of Notre Dame Australia is able to provide limited on-campus accommodation for Australian students who are seeking an independent lifestyle whilst living on campusThese places are highly competitive and it is recommended that rural and inter-state students apply as early as possible, prior to a semester, in order to secure a place. There are four Halls of Residence in the immediate campus precinct, allocated primarily for the use of Study Abroad students here for one semester of study. Halls of Residence are an ideal option for rural and interstate students who need to live away from home while studying. Student residences are a unique university experience as they provide a supportive environment to live in and give you the opportunity to make and live with new friends. There is also a Hall of Residence open to International students conveniently located a 5 minute walk from the Fremantle Campus. Each Hall has a Residential Supervisor allocated to look after the welfare of student residents and assist in maintaining a safe environment in which students can reside. The residences come equipped with self contained kitchen, beds, study area with desk, common rooms with TV and computer labs with internet access.
