Welcome to UNE Townies

Coordinated by UNE Life, UNE Townies are a community of independent UNE students who've chosen to experience university life while living in the heart of Armidale.  We understand that not everyone lives on campus, but that doesn't mean you should miss out on the connections, friendships, and experiences that make uni life unforgettable. 

Our Mission

To create an inclusive, welcoming community where UNE students living in Armidale can:

• Build lasting friendships
• Access social events and activities
• Find study partners and support networks
• Share local knowledge and resources
