ANU operates a large residence portfolio for undergraduate and postgraduate students, including self-catered halls, studios, apartments and catered colleges. The 2026 residence comparison lists weekly rates from A$308 at Burton & Garran Hall and A$364 at Davey Lodge to A$562 at Bruce Hall Main Wing; contracts, deposits and residence-specific charges apply, so students should check the current offer and fee summary.

Catered and self-catered residences give students different food arrangements, with kitchens or meal plans depending on the residence. Canberra's city centre is close to Acton campus, while students should confirm dietary accommodation directly with the selected residence and budget separately for groceries, meals, utilities and transport where these are not included.

ANU's main Acton campus sits in central Canberra and brings colleges, schools, libraries, laboratories, student residences and support services into one campus environment. The university was founded in 1946 and operates across six academic colleges, including business, law, Asia-Pacific affairs and systems and society.

ANU provides campus and residence support through its student services and residential communities. Residence options include wellbeing and academic support, and students should use ANU's current emergency, health, counselling and after-hours contacts for urgent or personal situations rather than relying on general online advice. Students manage offers, enrolment and invoices through ANU systems including ANUHub, while residences provide community and academic-support structures. International students should use ANU's current admissions, visa, arrival, health-cover and student-support guidance and confirm dates and document requirements before travel.
