Getting your finances organised before you start your course at Deakin College means you can stress less about money and focus on your studies.
Here are a few things to do before you start:
Deakin College students can find accommodation on-campus at Melbourne Burwood, Geelong Waurn Ponds or Geelong Waterfront. If you would prefer to live off campus, we’ve got some handy tips on where to start your search.

We have Deakin security officers on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can easily identify them by their uniforms, which display the Deakin security badge. If you ever feel unsafe on campus – particularly at night – you can contact Deakin security and they will escort you to and from your car or public transport.

Deakin College’s mentoring programs and Student Committees are the perfect way to meet new friends from day one. Look out for Orientation mentors during your first week – they will be able to help you by providing important information about studying at Deakin College and answering any questions you might have.
Connecting with our Student Learning Mentors or being part of the Student Committee are also great ways to meet other Deakin College students. If you’re into sport or you have a special interest, why not join DUSA and be part of a student club?
