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."

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."

Alyssa, Waurn Ponds

"Moving to Res has been an amazing experience for me. I’ve made so many amazing friends from all over Australia. The convenience is also amazing - waking up and already being on campus has made getting to classes so much easier!"
