Living on the banks of the pristine Hopkins River means that leisurely morning walks or a fish before class is the norm.

What Residents Say

Georgia, Waurn Ponds
"After living on Res for only a week I had already noticed an improvement in my confidence. This decision to move away from home has helped me to make connections with people I would’ve never met if I stayed in Tasmania to study."
James, Warrnambool
The highlight really has been living so close to the beach. Having only a five-minute drive to go for a surf or a two-minute walk to head down to the river for a swim has been pretty sweet.
Satika, Burwood, Computer Science
I decided to live on Res because it is so much more than just a residential space. I knew I would not only be safe and secure, but also supported in the areas of wellbeing, friendship, and personal growth while studying.
