Location
The University of Newcastle, in the city of Newcastle, was founded in 1965. The city is located on the eastern coast of New South Wales (pop. 350,000) and enjoys a temperate climate with warm to hot summers (68-83F December–February) and mild winters (49-64F June-August). The area is noted for such natural assets as beaches, lakes and rivers, bordered by a hinterland of mountains, forests and agricultural fields. The Newcastle beaches are the site of Australia's annual national surfing championships.The campus lies within 300 acres of natural bushland—complete with Australian wildlife—at the city’s edge and provides a well-stocked library, computer facilities, student clubs, shops, cafes, sports facilities, modern lecture theatres and laboratories.

The University's International Office has an accomodations area that assists students in finding off-campus housing. For those choosing to live on-campus, several different housing arrangements are available, all with single rooms but with a choice of catered or shared kitchens.
