What residents say

Satika, Burwood
"I decided to live on Res because it is so much more than just a residential space. I knew I would not only be safe and secure, but also supported in the areas of wellbeing, friendship, and personal growth while studying."
Harman, a resident at Deakin Res Warrnambool campus, smiles to the camera at the beach during sunset. She is wrapped in a blanket.
Harman, Warrnambool
Res quickly became my second home. Being far from family, I didn’t expect to feel so supported and connected. Whether it’s walking to class in minutes or having someone to talk to after a long day, living here has made all the difference in my uni journey.

Ipshita, Burwood
I decided to move to Deakin Res for the convenience of living close to campus but it turned out to be so much more! I have found my best friends here who've made my life so much better. Res has helped us to stay connected, study together and has even taken us all around Melbourne! So exciting, right?
