Residential Life Program

Heading off to Uni can be incredibly exciting, but leaving behind the safe and familiar to embark on a new challenge – often in a new city, filled with new faces and experiences – can also be quite daunting.

Our Residential Life Team will ensure you have lots support during your stay at UniLodge. To create a sense of community, we organise popular events such as weekly movie night, ice-cream night and Tim-Tam nights. Keep an eye out on your Floor's or Building's Notice Board or our Facebook/WeChat group for new event updates.

You’ll learn new skills, improve your wellbeing and make lifelong friendships. You’ll be there for others, and your fellow residents and staff will be there for you.

Residents get far more than a room at UniLodge. They get each other.

Resident's Say

I think the Residential Life Program provides UniLodge residents with a network of social and academic support when beginning to live independently.
