I’ve had a great experience living at this accommodation. The building is modern and well-maintained, with all the essential facilities you need. There’s even a small gym, which is super convenient for quick daily workouts. The staff here are incredibly friendly and helpful. The front desk is staffed 24/7, so whenever I have a question or run into a problem, it gets solved very quickly. It really gives me a sense of safety and support, especially as an international student. We also have a wonderful Residential Life Manager who organizes various activities and events from time to time. These events are always fun, and they’ve allowed me to meet new people and enjoy unique experiences that make student life much more enjoyable. The location is also excellent — close to unimelb, public transport, supermarkets. Highly recommend!

I have lived in this apartment for a year. Every time I enter the apartment, it is the most relaxing moment for me. Kutu greets me warmly and responds promptly to any questions in my apartment. At that time, she handled all the viewing and moving-in procedures for me, allowing me and my five friends to move into ideal rooms. She was the most enthusiastic friend I had in the apartment. The activities held by Monica in the apartment are much better compared to the student apartments I used to stay in. The freshly baked bread on Monday, yogurt and pancakes on Tuesday, and the painting class on Wednesday allow me, who is always hungry, to happily start each week. The occasional outdoor activities (many are free) have helped me make many friends, including a furry friend named Langlang. What's more exciting is that the diverse national festival activities not only have relaxing games but also have special delicacies. During the stressful final exam week, the apartment also tries to help us relax and provides a quiet study room for us! An apartment that always considers the residents' perspective and does not fail to do a good job. I have attached some photos of my official activities. I sincerely recommend everyone to stay in this apartment!

Great place for students. Personally I would suggest staying in this unildoge compared to other branches as this is one of the biggest ones, near to city and cheaper than others. There are many events they keep often to keep people engaged. Great place to make many friends and networks. Cons are rent, less room space, high utilities bill, thin walls, no cams in the floors you live.
