This is where your accommodation becomes a destination. Imagine cooling off in the outdoor swimming pool on a scorching Brisbane day, followed by a BBQ area cook-up with your flatmates. Feeling like a proper cinematic experience? They’ve got a cinema room, a dedicated games area with PS4s, pool, and ping pong for when you need to switch off. The true game-changer, though, is the Sky Lounge on the 39th floor. Seriously, the views from up there are next-level—perfect for studying, socialising, or just soaking up the sunset. Need to focus? There's an exclusive study floor with spaces for deep work and collaboration, plus music rooms for when you need to jam out.

The multiple common areas, from the pool deck to the sky lounge, serve as natural meeting points to find your core crew and build lasting friendships while living in the heart of the Brisbane CBD.
Safety: Secure and Supported
Peace of mind is standard here. Your safety is a top priority with 24/7 onsite staff and reception, plus round-the-clock secure entry via swipe card access and discreet CCTV coverage throughout the building. This is a protected, students-only environment in a major metropolitan city. Knowing there's always a friendly face at the reception desk, ready to assist with anything from a lost key to local advice, makes all the difference, especially for new international students.

Do not stay here. The management team is actually the most evil people on the planet. Their finance team is so useless and won’t update your account when you pay rent So the admin team came for me sent my beach threats for 27-6-26 when I’m interstate for a major surgery and undergoing depression therapy everything. They’re so disgusting. Their payment portal wasn’t working I sent multiple emails that I need to pay rent. No one helped but said “we are breaching you for not paying rent” when I was TRYING TO PAY RENT? Make it make sense. A bunch of liars and fraud. If you care about your kids and their safety please don’t send them here. The guy on reception is also a creep he’s so disgusting. I have so many screenshots and receipts. They also didn’t respond to my form and emails to break lease early as I was so sick of being treated like DO NOT STAY HERE DO NOT STAY HERE DO NOT STAY HERE DO NOT STAY HERE

I stayed at student one for a year and met so many amazing people there, both the residents and staffs✨ the location is good, facilities are nice, they’ve got a nice pool to chill by and rooftop with amazing sunsets. Special thanks to DK from student one team, he’s just amazing and has been super helpful. Just checked out a week ago and i’ve already missed staying there
Ismael García Saiz
The place is good but the manager is unprofessional and picky. His attitude is totally out of place. Looks like is the first time in his life he has some power in something. Nothing to recommend. Go to any other residence.
anushka gamad
I have been living at student one for a while now and I just wanted to give a special shoutout to lily at the front desk. She is friendly, approachable and incredibly helpful. She does make real difference in creating a welcoming environment here. Thanks lily for all you do - you’re definitely one of the reasons living here feels like home !
