Thinking about Uni? Let’s be real — choosing the right one is a big deal. That’s why Deakin is opening its doors these April school holidays, giving you a chance to experience the Deakin difference firsthand. And, of course, discover why Deakin Res is the perfect place to call home while you study! 

You want a place that feels like home, has top-notch facilities, and offers an amazing student experience, right? Well, Deakin Res is for you! So come and check it out these school holidays. 

No matter if you’re considering Melbourne Burwood, Geelong Waurn Ponds, Geelong Waterfront, or Warrnambool, we’ve got tours at each campus to help you find your perfect fit. 

Tour Dates: 

  • Melbourne Burwood Campus – Tuesday, April 8 & Monday, April 14

During your tour, you’ll walk through Res, meet current residents, view rooms, and get the inside scoop on applying and making the most of your time on campus. 

With multiple tours happening throughout the day, there will be plenty of time to suss it out for yourself, at your pace, in your time! You’ll get to tour our fully furnished rooms, chill-out spaces, study areas, and social hubs that make it such a sought-after place to live.  
Beyond just the bricks and mortar (that’s mature speak for ‘buildings’) you’ll get to see what your life could be like if you choose to call Deakin Res, home!  
 
We could give you 100 reasons why we believe that Deakin Res is the perfect fit for you and your academic aspirations, but if we had to choose a few stands outs that you’ll find when you come this April it would be …  

  • Live where the action is – No commuting, no missing morning lectures—see just how close you’ll be to campus (perfect for those “just 5 more minutes” mornings!). 

  • Instant community – On-campus events, shared spaces, and plenty of opportunities to make friends and Belong Better – make Deakin Res the perfect place to safely transition into independent living (and adulthood!). 

  • Support when you need it – Academic help, wellbeing support, and friendly staff make sure your Res experience is fun, memorable, and safe and your academic endeavours, a success! 

  • Safe and secure – Witness for yourself the safe buildings and environment and speak to staff and students about how we ensure that Deakin Res really is your secure home away from home. 
     

But Wait… Isn’t Open Day in August? 

Yes! But why wait? Here’s why a campus tour in April is a game-changer: 

  • Get the vibe – Seeing the campus in person helps you know if Deakin feels right for you. 

  • Picture your daily life – Where will you grab coffee? Chill in the library? (Run late to lectures? We won’t judge.) 

  • Smooth transition – If you choose Deakin, you’ll already know your way around, making move-in day a breeze. 

  • Be ahead of the game – You’ll have a head start over those visiting for the first time in August.
