But don’t just take our word for it! Here’s what Derby Teo, a Master of Cyber Security student, has to say about life on campus.
Living on Res has been one of the best decisions I have made. The real highlight is the exclusive Res events that require no additional payment from residents. I got to meet so many awesome people and experience things that I may not have had a chance to if I was not on Res.
