More than a place
to live
“
At frst I thought ’more
than a place to live’ was
just a marketing ploy. But
throughout my time here I’ve
discovered a sense of true
community – whether it’s at
the dinner table, the sports
oval, or when your new best
friends come to your room for
tea and biscuits at 8pm and
stay till midnight. Never would
I have imagined that I would
love this place in such an
intense way.

Residential colleges
on our doorstep
Living at a residential college offers students a
unique university experience, providing a welcoming
community, personalised academic support and
opportunities to connect with like-minded people.
YOUR PLACE TO CALL HOME
Residents live in fully furnished
single rooms with phone and internet
connections, within secure buildings
less than 10 minutes’ walk from the
Parkville campus. All colleges are
co-residential, with shared bathroom
and laundry facilities.
All meals are provided – usually three
per day. Residents dine together in their
college’s dining hall, and attend formal
dinners during the week. Colleges also
have facilities such as libraries, IT labs
and music practice rooms, as well as
sporting and recreational facilities.
Typically, college residence is for 36
to 40 weeks per year, covering the
University semesters and exam periods.
