“Living on Campus”

I spoke to first year student, David Drinkwater about Campus Accommodation, asked him a few questions, have a read!
When you think about student accommodation your mind automatically thinks about the social aspect, right? When taking time to chat with David, this rings true. David says he enjoys living on campus and many other students who reside in Uni accommodation share the same sentiment. 


Third year Arts student, Georgina Vega was living in a house within a 10 min drive of the University and has recently opted to move to live in student housing. The promise of student housing was too good for Miss Vega to resist! Both students speak very positively of their housing. Also, both Georgie and David said the social life and activity around campus was very active! 


Some perks David says he enjoys are “meeting lots of new people”, social events and the proximity to the university.  David says of the social life “(it is) insanely active.” He recalls a recent night being up at 1:42 am, “people just getting back from partying, music pumping from my housemate’s room and people everywhere!” David says the accommodation is sufficient and meets his needs and didn’t list any possible improvements that should be made! At Koolobong, students have access to a games room, open areas for activities and an internet connection, but students are required to provide their own computer. 


Throughout all the UOW student accommodations students have access to a variety of services. No wonder this campus life attracts such a crowd! But of course there is another side of the table. The cost. Prices range from approximately $120-$450 per week. When asked to sum up the experience of living at a UOW residence David had but only one thing to say…  So. much. FUN!

Not Miley's Wall! ;)

Hello blogosphere! Someone who saw my blog brought to my attention that 'A Fly on the Wall' is also a Miley Cyrus song! I would like to make it clear that my blog name was NOT inspired by this! :) 

This is purely here to be an insider in the university! A fly on many walls around uni, for you! And with summer on it's way.. you can be expecting more action from the flies! ;)
