Student Village
Applications for 2024 open 1 August. Please apply by 30 September 2023 to ensure you are considered for your preferred hall.
Student Village, located by gate 2, is the largest of our halls and is unique in that the students live in a pod of six students rather than spread across blocks of 50-60 students.
Four blocks at Student Village have been refurbished / upgraded in 2022. These blocks/rooms have been re-painted, carpeted and has new furnishings throughout.
Additionally, two buildings are currently being refurbished and will form part of the Student Village community for Trimester B 2023.
Residents at Student Village come from all over the world, giving you the chance to meet lots of new people and experience a range of different cultures.
Student Village offers the option of both catered and self-catered accommodation.
