Housing Access

UTS is about 11 KM from downtown Sumbawa. However, UTS provides a couple of dormitory buildings for students that are located 5 minutes away from the UTS main building (Rectorate). This dormitory is mainly for 1st-year non-Sumbawanese students. In the next year, students can freely decide to rent a single room or rent a shared house with friends.
