Hello,

I know of Aussie universities like the University of New South Wales
where almost everyone lives with their parents.  I would like to know
one Australian university with most students living on campus or in
university dorms.  Please provide documentation or an internet link or
email that proves this.

Thanks.

Request for Question Clarification by bobbie7-ga on 24 Mar 2005 19:09 PST

Hi!

Please let me know if this meets your needs?

UQ Gatton
"The student environment at UQ Gatton is ideal.  The majority of
students either live on-campus or close to the campus.  A close-knit
community spirit has developed and students live and study in a
friendly, supportive and safe environment, close enough to Brisbane
and the Gold and Sunshine coasts to allow weekend trips to these
destinations."

I'm not clear whether you are asking your question in the context of
which Uni has a greater percentage of students living on-campus, or
whether a Uni has a greater proportion of available student
accommodation (e.g. halls of residence, share houses, etc) so that
students *don't* have to live with the parents unless they really,
really want to (yeah right!).

So, with that in mind, Melbourne University (in Parkville) has 13
halls of residence and a long standing culture of student independence
with many students (not just the international students) making the
move into the big bad city and renting houses/flats in nearby suburbs
of Carlton, Parkville, Flemington, North Melbourne, Thornbury,
Brunswick, etc. The various halls of residence are pretty stunning
too. Melbourne Uni is also one of the (if not *the*) top universities
in Oz.

It's not your answer but I hope it adds some extra info into the mix.
