So you’ve nearly completed year 12? Congratulations!

Now it’s time to make the most of Uni!

With things opening up (and university quickly approaching), there are a few Must Do's you'll need to prepare for.

Sure, there are classes, study, assignments, and all that ‘learning’… but here’s the important stuff you’ll need to check off your list.

Get a part-time job

Café’s won’t wait themselves - you’ll need extra cash so you can explore your new home and enjoy all the places the region has to offer!

Get vocal and support a local cause

It’s important to stand for something…anything. When you make your move to Deakin you will find lots of great organisations and causes, so you can really make a difference?

Experience a whole series of firsts

By becoming a resident at Deakin University, everything you need will be right on your doorstep.

You will make instant connections, learn to cook, broaden your view and gain independence. Student accommodation will give you the safe space required to live your best student life.

Choosing to live on-campus will give you the chance to connect with other residents sharing your apartment, unit or building, gather in study or communal spaces, or make the most of outdoor areas to chat about life or that latest assignment that’s due tomorrow.

Oh, and after all that… you'll also get a degree.

Does this sound like the life for you? Apply for accommodation at Deakin here.
