Working with our professional student life team, our Student Leaders provide a link between Journal residents, staff and management.

Bachelor of Arts (Politics), University of Melbourne
The central location is awesome, its close by to many brunch spots tucked away down alleys that serve amazing coffee and Instagram worthy breakfast dishes. I especially love The Moonlight Cinema at the Botanical Gardens because you get to watch a movie surrounded by nature!
Bachelor of Science, University of Melbourne
My favourite space at Uni Place is the communal games room – the cinema is great for relaxing and watching a movie and the pool and ping pong tables are great for hanging out with friends.
Bachelor of Design (Games), RMIT
I absolutely love the National Gallery of Victoria, and the markets on Wednesdays have the best atmosphere. Also the transport is to convenient too – we’re across the road from the Free Tram Zone and Southern Cross Station is close so its easy for me to visit home.
