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
