University accommodation doesn’t just make it easier to find affordable housing, it’s also a welcoming place to build lifelong friendships.
Ever hear people say, “oh, that’s my friend from university” or “we met at uni”and wonder how they made those friends and connections while studying? It can sometimes feel awkward or difficult to connect with other students when you’re mainly focussed on classes when you are on campus.
Exclusive Res Life benefits
Res Life is the part of campus living that gets students together for fun (and usually, free!) events and activities. A lot of the time, you’ll also be trying something new. It’s the perfect time to find a shared interest with someone or bond over a new experience.
Just listen to how our on-campus students enjoy the opportunities Res Life offers:
“Having just moved to Melbourne without knowing anyone, Res Life events made it easy to make friends and become more engaged in the community” – Chisholm College resident
Study, life balance
Building connections happens with small and respectful interactions over time. Living on campus means you can find someone who likes to study at the same time as you or who likes to eat at the same lunch spot.
It’s also easy to see that you’re all students going through the same things.
“I enjoy living on campus because of the motivating ‘bubble’ it creates, surrounded by others who are also focused on studying and going through the same process” – Glenn college resident
We know that the rental market is challenging to navigate and afford, so residential living seeks to help support students in focusing their time on their learning pathway, rather than where you might live. Living on campus also means you are a short walk from classes and events with friendships waiting to be made.
Don’t forget we also offer affordable meals twice a day at Glenn Dining Hall, further reducing the stress of balancing work, life and study.
