What Residents Say

Derby, Waurn Ponds, Cyber Security
"Living on Res has been one of the best decisions I have made all year! The real highlight is the exclusive Res events that require no additional payment from residents. I got to meet so many awesome people and experience things that I may not have had a chance to if I was not on Res!"
Bronte, Waterfront, Occupational Therapy
"I’ve really enjoyed living on campus so far! Beyond the convenience and the beautiful location, there’s always something to do and a huge community of people to meet and interact with."
Sam, Waurn Ponds, Primary Teaching
"Living on Res is fantastic because you are put in a position where you can make friends from different towns, or states, or even countries, who might be studying a different course to you. A personal highlight for me has been meeting so many new faces who have become some of my best mates!"
