SARAH THOMPSON · UNSW · 18 APR 2026

Great location, would recommend

Lived here for two semesters and made some of my closest friends. The social events are easy to join if you want them and easy to skip if you do not. Study rooms are genuinely useful when the library is full.

↑ PROS
  • Close to campus
  • Great study spaces
  • Clean common areas
↓ CONS
  • On the expensive side
  • WiFi slows during exams

MICHAEL KIM · UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY · 2 MAR 2026

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.

↑ PROS
  • Responsive management
  • Easy to make friends
  • Good gym
↓ CONS
  • Rooms a little compact
  • Limited parking

PRIYA MENON · UNSW · 14 JAN 2026

Convenient but comes at a premium

Facilities are modern and well looked after. The gym and study spaces are a highlight. WiFi can dip during peak times but it is fine for streaming and most coursework.

↑ PROS
  • Safe environment
  • Bills and WiFi included
  • Walking distance to transport
↓ CONS
  • WiFi slows during exams
  • Noisy on weekends
