Advantages of Living on Campus

One of the many advantages of living on campus is the opportunity of being close to the University's facilities, in an environment focused on study and academic pursuits.

It is an opportunity to interact with students from other cultures and to make new friends.

This experience is also an opportunity to live independently, in a safe and secure environment, where help is available should you ever need it.

Furthermore, living on campus allows you to live in a fully furnished, stunning apartment for 40 weeks of the year, for little more than it would cost to live in a shared rented house in a neighbouring suburb.* (Remember that you will save on transport costs as well!)

*Calculations based on 40 weeks at Lilydale Student Village, compared with a one year lease @ $90 per week plus utility bills, furniture and transport in a shared house.
