Residential Life Program

Heading off to Uni can be incredibly exciting, but leaving behind the safe and familiar to embark on a new challenge – often in a new city, filled with new faces and experiences – can also be quite daunting.

We’ve got a fix for that. We call it our Residential Life Program and, as the name suggests, it’s all about building a sense of community through social events, group activities and adventure.

You’ll learn new skills, improve your wellbeing and make lifelong friendships. You’ll be there for others, and your fellow residents and staff will be there for you.

Residents get far more than a room at UniLodge. They get each other.

Resident's Say

UniLodge has been a great place to live at mainly because the staff personally took the time to know who I am. They always greet me and often stop and have a conversation with me as well. It is nice to know the staff are here to take care of me and accommodate me so that my stay here is comfortable. It’s easy to call UniLodge “home”.
