Make Deakin your home. Enjoy spacious new buildings and full WiFi coverage, including open and inviting spaces for socialising and studying.
Living on campus means you can immerse yourself in the Deakin College experience, meet other students, and easily adjust to life at university. Designed to facilitate your studies and personal life, each Deakin residence is comfortable, secure, and welcoming. You will have access to modern facilities, a 24/7 reception, and Deakin College on your doorstep – but on the other hand, no excuses to be late to class!
“I like Deakin College because of the intimate small class size with limited number of students so the lecturer could focus on each and every individual which is why I got HD. I can directly communicate with my lecturers and discuss my problem and clear my confusion which is really helpful and convenient.”
