Living on campus means you can immerse yourself in the Deakin College experience, meet other students, and easily adjust to life at university.

You will have access to modern facilities, a 24/7 reception, and Deakin College on your doorstep - but on the other hand, no excuses to be late to class!

Please ensure you read through the resources on Houseme prior to registering or searching for properties on the Houseme database.
