But don’t just take our word for it! Here’s what Harman Gill, a resident at Warrnambool campus, has to say about living on Res.
Moving to Warrnambool was a big change, but living on Res made it feel like home from the very beginning. It’s more than just a place to stay — it’s a community where I’ve found friendships, support, and a sense of belonging. As a nursing student, having 24/7 access to study spaces and being only a short walk from my lectures has helped me stay on top of my studies.
