What Residents Say

Tom, Waurn Ponds

"Living on Deakin Res has helped me grow by teaching me basic life skills like doing my own shopping, cooking, laundry and academically being able to study with a great group of people. To anyone thinking of moving to Deakin Res, just trust your gut. You'll always be able to stay connected to back home. The community is so safe and welcoming."

Emily, Warrnambool

"Living on Res here in Warrnambool has opened up so many opportunities for me and my future career. The connections you form while here on Res are life long, I have met some of my closest friends. Living on res means I get to walk such a short distance to classes each day."

Andrew, Burwood

"Moving to Deakin Res was an easy choice for me as I live several hours away from the university in rural Victoria. So far, my favourite part of living on Res is the diverse range of people you meet - everyone has a story worth hearing, and it's been great to expand my horizons in Melbourne."
