“Solid choice for first year”
Everything you need is here and the convenience is hard to beat. It is on the pricier side, but if your budget allows, the time you save commuting is worth it. Staff at reception are helpful.

“Solid choice for first year”
“Everything you need is here and the convenience is hard to beat. It is on the pricier side, but if your budget allows, the time you save commuting is worth it. …”— MICHAEL KIM · UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY · STUDIO · 4.6 ★
Iglu’s North Shore residence above Chatswood’s transport interchange — a quick train to Macquarie University and the city. Modern studios and shared apartments, a rooftop garden, gym and a strong community vibe.
Location is the highest-rated dimension — students consistently note the proximity to campus as a standout feature.
On safety — ★4.6 — this property rates in the top tier of NSW accommodations on the platform.
