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, they get each other.

Resident's Say

I came to Australia and started living at Student Living since Feb 2018. Throughout the past year I have found that all staff members are extremely friendly and helpful, and I have enjoyed getting to know the staff through various events.

Another great advantage of Student Living is that is very close to the University of Melbourne, simply right across the road and you get access to a lot of the modern facilities and common areas including gym, table tennis and TV's which is great to relax and meet like minded people.
