Residential life program

Join a vibrant community, find meaningful connections and feel supported where you live from day one

Make the most of uni with our residential life program

Living on campus is more than just having a room. As a University Accommodation resident, you join a community of UniMelb students and enjoy a year-round program of residential life activities to help you settle into university life and living away from home.

Support is built into where you live. With dedicated academic staff, career workshops, tutorials and guest lectures, our residences offer enrichment programs that help you succeed at uni.

Student wellbeing is central to what we do. Alongside the University’s health and wellbeing services, residents have access to 24/7 on-site support in a warm, welcoming and inclusive community.

Committed to student safety, growth and success, living on campus means all our residents have access to our residential life program. Our year-round residential life program is built to help every resident make friends and connections easily, navigate uni life smoothly, develop skills and discover who they want to be.

Meet our students

Hear from our students as they share how University Accommodation is more than just a place to sleep.

Little Hall’s academic support has been a great help to me. I find it helpful to have tutors review the content as a group and explain the difficult concepts.

One of my highlights of living at International House has really just been how many different things I've been able to do and get involved in.
