Sydney University Village 90 Carillon Avenue, Newtown, New South Wales 2042

"Not a good place for long-term living. No air-conditioner for summer and the window can only be opened to a small angle so that little fresh air can come in. The wall cannot block the noise from some crazy roommates who even make loud music at 5 am. The staffs are okay and helpful in most times. Its not convenient to use city trains from Mcd or Newtown Stations(for people carrying luggage cases) while the bus service is frequent but crowded."

"Fantastic place to live at. Shout out to Julia and Christian who have been super helpful! Love the foodnights!"

"Worst student accomodation. Do not come here. Truly. The rooms aren't heated. Which means if there's 10 degrees outside, it's pretty much 10 degrees inside. You'll be dining in your jacket and cap.They claim to be a diversified, international accomodation, however, 9/10 international students come from China. Most employees are from China too. No good events either. They recently increased the rent by $200 a month due to so much Chinese demand. If you're paying with an international card, you'll be charged outrageous payment fees."

"This place should be condemned. It's like living in prison. Facilities are broken. Cheap furniture gave me early onset arthritis. Pathetic internet allowance means you are guaranteed to go over every month and have to pay extra. It's disgusting that a place like this exists."

"If you are looking for a student type life, look somewhere else. Sydney University Village is a ghost town, devoid of any type of student life. The curfew on weekends is too early. The place is clearly trying to cater more to the less social students. Reception staff is unwilling to extend themselves further than they have to unless someone higher up instructed them to, it seems like the staff simply don't care. A few of the staff are not well trained with the system they are using anyways. It is overly priced for what you get. I stayed in a studio without a kitchen that was meant for disabled students. The room was located on the 7th floor and the nearest kitchen was in another building. I can imagine it would be extremely difficult for someone with disabilities to live in such a room. In another flat I stayed in, there was a cockroach problem that just kept on coming back and needed better dealing with - but was not. They get two stars because I did make good connections with other students and the location is pretty close to Uni. Aside from that, I advise looking somewhere else."
