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 think it’s a good place to live if moving to Melbourne for the first time because it’s a friendly community and the lobby is welcoming. Student Living on Campus organized dinners and events which brings everyone together so you can meet new people and make friends. Great location near the university and city so it is convenient.
