SCU Village on the Coffs Harbour and Lismore campuses provides a range of fully furnished accommodation options. Students live in self-catering units, which comprise two to six bedrooms and shared living, bathroom and cooking facilities. Students are responsible for buying food and for cooking and cleaning for themselves. An extensive resident life program is designed to support social, academic and personal development. Dedicated Resident Assistant teams at each property are also available to provide assistance, help students settle into the community and make sure there's always someone to talk to if required.

Off campus accommodation

Students attending the Tweed Heads and Gold Coast campuses live off-campus, which is also an option in Lismore and Coffs Harbour. The most popular type of off-campus accommodation is a house or unit shared with other students, where students do their own cooking and share the cost of household expenses. Both furnished and unfurnished off-campus rental accommodation is available.

Share House: The most popular type of off-campus accommodation is sharing a house or unit with other students. Students do their own cooking and share the cost of household expenses. The cost for a single room is approximately A$80 per week. Living expenses including food, water and electricity are additional to this. Most accommodation of this style is unfurnished and students are given assistance to purchase furniture.

Homestay: Another alternative is to find full-board homestay accommodation with a local family. The cost of this is usually between A$180-A$200 per week, including meals.
