Campus Life
- UWA has one main campus located in Perth, offering a wide range of facilities, including a well-equipped library, sports centre, and medical services. During my time at UWA, I participated in orientation events that helped me to connect with fellow students and get familiar with campus and different clubs on campus.
- The university also hosts various clubs, including engineering and cultural groups, as well as popular events like O-week, which were great for socialising and learning extracurricular opportunities. Overall, the campus experience was engaging, with numerous activities.
Accommodation
- My husband was already here, so I never faced the accommodation challenge, but I know people who faced the housing crisis and the rents are drastically high in recent times. The university international student centre can help in finding accommodations within campus or outside or Facebook community groups can also provide references to shared accommodations.
Likes
- At the end of the day it is the best University in Perth, and that does have some value to it.
- Given its heritage, it feels good to know about famous personalities that studied here, feels good to be part of history
- Top minds of Western Australia are here
Dislikes
- Campus is not big (as compared to Symbiosis), but still better than majority of university in Australia
- Should have more help for career development
- Costlier than other universities in Perth
Campus Life
- There are endless number of activities in any Australian Universities Its all student-controlled too, so its in your hand what you really want.
- There are like 100 clubs I have volunteered in different places of Australia, I am also one of the top 7 volunteers in my University, having gone on multiple camping trips to rural areas to volunteer as a teacher.
Accommodation
- You can either rent a house/room somewhere just like in India or live in a student accommodation that is not part of the university.
- Finding a house is the toughest thing in Australia, though.
- The only tip would be to go somewhere where you already know a few people who live there, so that you can get some immediate help in getting accommodation.

- UWA offered the program I wanted and it is one of the top 100. Also when it comes to cost of living, Perth is most affordable compared to other cities in Australia.
Campus Life
UWA offers a lot of volunteering activities and social events. The campus is connected by wifi and has all sort of accessibility and facilities. It has wide variety of clubs and sports facilities. Perth's most famous Reid Library located in the heart of UWA campus is one of its kind and marvelous. It offers 24*7 access to students during the exam dates and upto 11 P.M during weekdays and weekends.
Accommodation
It depends on different persons perspective. It is better to look around for student accommodations such as campus perth and etc. which should be around 180 AUD. For individual accommodations such as houses and units, It could be around 150-300 AUD based on the expectation of the student. But the average accommodations cost expected around 160 AUD per week
Likes
- UWA is one of the G8 universities in Australia, as well as it is recognized in the world. The location, Perth is very nice place to live as well as it's easier to get work visa and PR.
- But the most important reason of all is that my elder brother was already here before I came so more of a reason to pick Perth.
- The vast array of different facilities they provide from personal care to personal development. You will get food all throughout the campus. They have good medical clinic and pharmacy within the campus.
Dislikes
- It gets expensive. For all the facilities they provide they also charge a large amount of money to keep supporting them. Even any food that you will buy would be more expensive than the food you would get anywhere outside UWA.
Campus Life
The campus life can be very peaceful and then it can get very very fun and enjoyable. There are loads of clubs for the student, not only to relieve stress but also to engage intensely into some activity. There is always something happening from small events to a large University Orientation day. The research facilities are very adequate, they ensure no stones unturned when it comes to researchers being able to work with much involvement. They have libraries with lots of different facilities for a student to keep well cared for. Wifi is always there though mostly within buildings and not much outside. The sports facilities are also very adequate, ranging from different sports activities that one can join into or just simply go to a well equipped gym if you wish to: you are covered from every angle. Overall the facilities they provide (though expensive) are enough and adequate.
Accommodation
The university provide their own hostel accommodation which are quite expensive. They also provide off-campus accommodation which are comparatively cheaper. Of course there are rents available al around Perth. But students can also opt for private hostel accommodations like Campus Perth, Boulevard or Switch. Siting specific rental amount will be difficult as they are ever changing based on the demands. You can easily checkout the rental price by going to different websites of them.
Accommodation
My accommodation was inside the university which has a separate unihall for all incoming international and national students which includes food gym and many more facilities at affordable price.
UWA is one of the best universities in Australia as it falls in the group of 8 universities in Australia. Also, UWA is known for its research and is the only uni in western Australia to be on such a high level for my course
Accommodation
I am living there with my family so I have very little knowledge about it.
I am enrolled at the University of Western Australia, Perth for a few reasons. Firstly, it is highly ranked (92 globally as per QS Ranking, 2021) and also a part of the prestigious group of 8 universities. Secondly, Perth is a fast-growing city with great potential, learning from this potential will be a great experience. The course structure at UWA covers all aspects of my major and UWA graduates consistently higher than the national average starting salary and state graduate employment rates. The admission process at UWA was also fair and simple. I comfortably meet the admission criteria. Perth also offers a high standard of living. It offers students a 40% discount on all public transport facilities and also enjoys a low crime rate.
Accommodation
I live off campus mainly because the on-campus fees Is very high. The fees for on campus accommodation starts from $365 and there are five on campus accommodations. But the facilities they provide is 100% worth $365, like gym, food, laundry, etc. I live off-campus mainly because of very low rent but I do miss out on the facilities.
I attended multiple university fairs and applied to 3 universities. I choose UWA over the other 2 universities because of the course that it was offering. I missed minimum scholarship but a very small margin whereas, I was getting 25% scholarship from other universities, still, I choose this because of its reputation, faculty and ranking. I didn't pay any application fees. I scored 83% in my 10th, 84% in my 12 and 3.2 CGPA out of 4 in my undergraduate degree from NMIMS ( no 1 ranking B school in India). I am very happy with my decision.
Accommodation
Lived off-campus, transport into uni is great and caters to the great number of students commuting throughout the day. Bus times tend to be irregular later you go so if staying at uni late plan according to a bus timetable.
UWA was my first preference, chosen solely because unit choices are super flexible and I could choose electives in languages such as Japanese in addition to my majors. Also chosen because of the variety of units offered in my chosen majors Giving a great perspective of your chosen major.
It was the closest for me to travel to from home. It is also the best world recognized university near me where I can choose to work anywhere in the world and have my degree recognized. I also have other friends and past students who go there that recommended it.
It had the double major I was looking for (pharmacy and neuroscience). It has the highest university ranking in WA and therefore presumed it would be the best. Family and friends have been before and have recommended it to me.
