Burwood Res alum Adit Pawha loved his time studying at Deakin so much he came back to study an MBA as well!

In this video, Adit re-visits Deakin’s Burwood student residences, and reflects on being a new international student from India, settling into life on campus and in Australia more broadly.

He found that Deakin Res was like a community in itself, and taught him not only about Australian culture, but all the cultures reflected in the student community.

Deakin Residential Services is delighted to celebrate 50 years of student accommodation throughout 2023. We will be sharing stories of alumni who have lived and studied with us over the last 50 years, as well as bringing past ressies together for some great reunion events. Read more about this significant milestone here.
