Join a vibrant, inclusive community

We make it easy to throw yourself into campus life. You’ll be surrounded by students just like you, who are going through the same things. Becoming part of a welcoming community and making friends is one of the most rewarding parts of living on Res (AKA Res Life).

“I enjoy living on campus because of the supportive environment, the safety it offers, and the motivating ‘bubble’ it creates, surrounded by others who are also focused on studying and going through the same process.” – Glenn College Resident

Access all the perks

On-campus students also have plenty of chances to get out of their dorms with frequent (and the majority of the time, free!) events, clubs and activities. From big events like Living at La Trobe Community Day and the annual Residential Ball, to a discounted Sports Centre membership and access to all sorts of student societies, you’ll find your place and your people.

“Living on campus allows me to live my university life to the fullest by engaging with student clubs, attending the various events held on campus, and utilising all the services provided by the university without the hassle of commute” – Chrisholm College Resident

Explore safe, welcoming options

Spending money to secure a share house? It’s much easier to relax with La Trobe’s 24/7 security. All of our campuses have 24/7 staffing and a variety of student accommodation options that are carefully designed to provide you with a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment to live and study.

“It felt like a safer option to live on campus with like-minded people going through the same experiences rather than risking living with people who could have a very different lifestyles.” – Glenn College Resident
