“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 · SINGLE · 4.8 ★
Macquarie’s on-campus village, a short walk to lectures and the Macquarie Centre. Single and twin rooms in shared townhouses, with study rooms, a gym and the platform’s highest “would recommend” scores.
Location is the highest-rated dimension — students consistently note the proximity to campus as a standout feature.
On safety — ★4.8 — this property rates in the top tier of NSW accommodations on the platform.
