University Mews

Start your morning early with a filling breakfast at local café Lucio. Go wildlife spotting at nearby Plenty Gorge, a hidden treasure of native bush- and wetland, home to kangaroos and echidnas. In the afternoon, sample your local cultural scene as you check out an exhibition at the Bundoora Homestead Art Centre, then meet friends for tapas at Trumpy or devour the signature dumplings at Maney’s Dumpling before heading to Pallino bar for cocktails. End your night in Melbourne dancing to live music with friends at The Night Cat before returning to your student accommodation.

At University Mews, you are just six minutes by tram from RMIT Bundoora and La Trobe universities. You are also minutes from local bus routes so you can get around the city easily. If you prefer to travel on two wheels, there is bicycle parking on-site and if you’ve brought your car to university, there is free undercover parking too.

You’ll wake up each morning in a double bed in your large bedroom in either a one-, two- or three-bedroom apartment. Freshen up with a shower in your private bathroom, then whip up some breakfast for yourself and your fellow students in your fully-equipped kitchen, or take a coffee outside to the balcony and take a few minutes to read through your notes before classes.

When you arrive home from university, relax in the living room before finishing off the day’s work at your desk. Check in on your social media accounts or Skype family back home using the free broadband. Afterwards, heat up a quick meal in your microwave or oven or sit down at your dining table and enjoy a takeaway red duck curry and coconut rice from local joint Narai Thai. If you feel like something sweet after you’ve eaten, pull on some trainers and swing by your local ALDI for supplies. Later, get ahead on your chores and put some clothes into the washer/ dryer then put your clean clothes away in your built-in wardrobe. Go to sleep feeling comfortable whatever the Melbourne weather thanks to a ceiling fan and wall heater in your apartment.
