Accommodation Spending the summer at res??

Res is open this summer! Are you studying, working in Warrnambool, doing volunteer work or placement…? Or just need somewhere to stay? Contact the res office to discuss your summer stay options! Applications are now open for both shared accommodation and studio summer stays!

Summer stays at res — FAQs

Do I need to be studying units over tri 3 to stay on res?

No!! In the past this has been the case, but not anymore!

Can I move from shared accommodation to an NRAS studio apartment?

Yes! And vice versa! You are able to move into NRAS provided that you meet the NRAS entry criteria (almost all domestic students do—discuss this with the res office if unsure).

Can I stay in the same room I am in now?

If you are already in NRAS, you can stay in the same apartment over the summer. You can also arrange for a 12 month lease that means you can stay right through to the end of T2, 2015!

Students living in shared accommodation over the summer are grouped together. This is done for security, socialisation and maintenance reasons.

Do I need to move out or go home at the end of this trimester?

No! But as mentioned, students living in shared accommodation are grouped together over the summer—this means you may have to move to another room at the end of trimester 2.

If you have any further questions or are thinking about staying on res this summer, come down to the res office! As always, the Res Team are happy to help out.
