A quick light rail ride to campus

From INSULR at 246 Glebe Point Road, the Glebe light rail stop is about a two minute walk. UTS is roughly twelve minutes away on the same line, so you are on campus quickly without needing a car or a costly daily commute. Buses and bike routes cover a similar distance if you prefer.

Living in Glebe rather than right on top of campus gives you a quieter, more characterful home, with Glebe Point Road cafés, parks and the harbour foreshore at the door, while keeping your commute short.

One home, both universities

Plenty of share houses force a choice between being near UTS or near the University of Sydney. INSULR sits between the two. UTS is about twelve minutes by light rail, and the University of Sydney is a short walk away, which makes this a rare address if your household mixes students from both.

What it costs, and what is included

Every room is all inclusive. One weekly figure covers furniture, electricity, gas, water, unlimited WiFi and weekly cleaning of shared areas, with 24/7 secured access and security cameras on site.
