Albury-Wodonga The twin cities of Albury-Wodonga straddle the border of two of Australia's eastern states, New South Wales and Victoria. With a combined population of around 95, 000, the cities have all the features of a capital city including excellent shopping, cafes and restaurants, theatre and art galleries. Its location is a bonus for those who love sport - try water-skiing in summer and snow skiing in nearby snowfields in the winter. The cities are well connected to Sydney, Melbourne and the nation's capital, Canberra, by planes, trains and buses.
On the outskirts of the city is Thurgoona which is where the student residences are located. This environmentally friendly 90 hectare 'greenfields' campus utilises environmentally friendly design and operation and is rapidly changing as academic office, teaching laboratories and student facilities are built to harmonise with the 'green' campus. All cottages and new residences are self-catered.
Each residence has a fully furnished single student bedroom (with a bar refrigerator), a common room with TV, kitchen (with food cupboards for each student) and shared bathrooms. Each kitchen has an oven, microwave and cook top (gas or electric stove).
Residents will need to supply things such as a toaster, kettle, cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery.
The Halls of Residence has a small number of facilities designed for students with disabilities. Details are available from Support Central.
