Live, study and play at Deakin Res
Did you know that 92% of our students say living on campus helped them to live independently? It's your chance to get out of your comfort zone and try something new. Plus, all on-campus accommodation fees are inclusive of utilities, wi-fi, laundry and 24/7 support – how good is that!
Accommodation with benefits
Look out for our residential leaders – they are the friendly faces, helping hands and experienced ears for the students that call Deakin home. They'll be your first point of contact so that you can enjoy yourself to the max.
Feel connected
Our busy social calendar is designed to give you endless opportunities to take a study break, meet new people and do something fun!
Live close to class
Living so close to your next class puts time back in your day. That means more time for extracurricular activities and less chances of being late for class!
Enjoy 24/7 support
Each of our campuses offers 24-hour, 7 days a week customer service with direct access to an on-site staff member.
Our on-campus accommodation is for guests too
Throughout the year each of our campuses has the capacity to host Deakin staff and visitors. We also welcome large groups like clubs, sporting groups and schools to stay with us on campus throughout the year in Burwood and Warrnambool, and for the summer months in Geelong.
Find your own off-campus accommodation
Finding off-campus accommodation helps you connect with the local community. Use Deakin’s Houseme website for listings near each campus and our housing service for assistance with applications and tenant rights and responsibilities. International students should search for housing after arriving in Victoria.
Stay with a local family in a homestay
Staying with a local family in their home is a great way to immerse yourself in Australian culture and the community while improving your English skills. You and your host decide how long you stay and fees are paid directly to your host prior to arrival.
