From a location point of view, Campus East is one train stop away or about a 40 minute walk to uow (give or take). its also relatively close to Wollongong (2 train stops). also close to supermarkets (walking distance 15 minutes but you have to walk over a hill. close to beach, pucky's esate, wolves stadium and the science centre!

I have no idea about the other.

Im not much help am i?

o0o also in walking distance to the campion thast a plus!

I house is right near North Wollongong train station, which means a small walk to the uni, close to transport (all trains stop at North Wollongong anyway), near Wollongong. You can catch the Premier Illawarra shuttle bus to uni for 60c if you're lazy.

the only down side of accommodation at the gong is that it is so expensive compared to other uni's but if you are able to pay it you should be all good!

By the way, I have one room available since my flatmate left about a month ago. I live literally 1 min away from the Corrimal train station. It's a 2 bedroom townhouse. $100 per week rent includes electricity, water, broadband Internet (inc USB wireless card rental). Whole house is fully furnished with ref, kitchen stuff, washing machine, dryer, etc. I do all the cleaning of the house and bathroom, except your room.

I've been trying to look for a flatmate for about a month now. Not too sucessful since everyone is probably settled down already.

I- house is way worse that campus east.
I-house is on the corner of the princes highway, northern distributer and the railway tracks. It's heaps noisy there. Campus east is accross the road from the beach and is heaps newer than i-house.
Also at campus east you only share a bathroom with 4people max, I-house you share the bathroom with the whole floor. Guys and girls share the bathroom at i-house where as at campus east you only share with 4 other guys/girls and its your bathroom so you can leave your stuff in there.
