Dive into Campus Life: Exploring Accommodation Options at La Trobe Bundoora

La Trobe University's Bundoora campus offers a vibrant living environment to complement your academic journey. Whether you crave a social and supported atmosphere or prefer a more independent lifestyle, there's an on-campus accommodation option perfectly suited for you. Let's delve into the details!

College Living: Immerse Yourself in the Community

  • Embrace Tradition: Steep yourself in La Trobe's history by choosing Chisholm College or Glenn College. These colleges offer a classic experience with single rooms or shared apartments, fostering a close-knit community. Dedicated Resident Advisors provide support and guidance, while meals plans ensure you're fueled for success (optional at Glenn College). Expect a calendar packed with activities and events designed to help you make lifelong friends.




  • Social Hub: Menzies College is renowned for its energetic atmosphere. Choose from single rooms, shared apartments, and catered or self-catered meal options. This college is a hive of activity, with common rooms buzzing with conversation and a jam-packed social calendar that will keep you entertained



Apartment Living: Independence with Convenience

  • Modern Comfort: If you crave independence, North and South Apartments provide the perfect solution. These modern, self-contained apartments offer studio and multi-bedroom options, all equipped with kitchen facilities for ultimate flexibility. On-site amenities like laundry facilities and common room areas foster a sense of community, while optional meal plans cater to those who don't want to worry about cooking.




Choosing Your Perfect Fit

  • Consider Your Lifestyle: Do you thrive on social interaction or prefer a quieter environment? College living fosters a strong sense of community, while apartments offer more independence.

  • Location Matters: Think about proximity to your classes and desired amenities. Colleges tend to be centrally located, while North and South Apartments are situated on the outer edge of campus.

  • Foodie Focus: Meal plans offered by some colleges ensure you have convenient and nutritious meals throughout the week. Self-catering apartments require independent grocery shopping and meal preparation.

Beyond On-Campus Options

La Trobe acknowledges that on-campus living may not be for everyone. Bundoora is surrounded by numerous off-campus housing options, including houses, apartments, and shared accommodations. While this path offers greater flexibility and potentially lower costs, it requires finding flatmates and managing bills independently.











Beyond Lectures: Unleash Your Passions at La Trobe Clubs

La Trobe University boasts a vast array of clubs and activities catering to diverse interests, making it a vibrant hub for student life beyond academics.

Academic Clubs: Delve deeper into your field of study or ignite your curiosity in a new subject by joining an academic club. Examples include La Trobe Business Association, Animal and Veterinary Science Society, and La Trobe International Relations Association.



Social Clubs: Looking to unwind and make new friends? Social clubs provide the perfect avenue. Unwind with board games at The Patch, catch a movie with the Cinema Club, or volunteer with Unicare to give back to the community.



Cultural Clubs: Celebrate your heritage or explore new cultures with clubs like the Chinese Calligraphy Club, La Trobe Vietnamese Students Association, African Students Association, and La Trobe University Indian Society (LTUIS).
