Hi Dev! What are you studying?
Bachelor of Aviation (Flight Training) -
Why did you choose to study in Australia?
I had spent my whole life in one country -China- in an international school. I really loved the fact that I was able to learn about multiple cultures and regions which made diversity a huge part of my life. Melbourne being home to so many international students was the best place for me to study and live. -
Why did you choose to live at Iglu?
I chose to stay at Iglu because of the events and the daily breakfast. The events and the daily breakfast make it so much easier to make friends. It's like a big family having breakfast every day together :) -
What is your favourite thing about being a student?
Being a university student is more than just studying and I love that about the university student life. At times it does get stressful as it does involve a lot of adulting, however, within a lot of kids who are attempting the adulting bit, we make so many friends and that is what I absolutely love about being a student. The connections you build as a uni student stay for a lifetime. -
What is your favourite thing to do when you are not studying?
I enjoy spending time with my friends, and that usually involves playing sports, watching sports or just going out for a bite. Australia is home to some of the most beautiful sport stadiums so I always enjoy going to live AFL or Cricket matches. -
So you're a Resident Leader. What's your favourite thing about being an RL?
I love the interactive bit. The connections and friends I have made as an RL will forever be close to me. -
What is your favourite thing about Iglu?
My favorite thing about Iglu is the diversity. There are so many people from different places around the world and I love learning and hearing about their cultures. Everyone has a different background, a different field of study and that's what interests me the most. -
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Flying planes, hopefully for airlines :) -
What words of wisdom would you pass on to future Iglu residents?
Sign up for all the events! Do NOT hesitate, or you will regret it.

Hi Amy! What are you studying?
Bachelor of Education (Primary) -
Why did you choose to study in Melbourne?
Melbourne is the closest major city to where my family lives. -
Why did you choose to live at Iglu?
Honestly, it was advertised through my university. But I have stayed for 3 years because of the facilities, amazing people and opportunities. -
What is your favourite thing about being a student?
There are so many opportunities to understand who you really are. -
What is your favourite thing to do when you are not studying?
Working out. -
As an Iglu Regional Scholarship recipient, how did the scholarship help you?
It enabled me to feel financially secure enough to move out of home after a tricky first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. -
So you're a Resident Leader. What's your favourite thing about being an RL?
Being a friendly face to people in the building! -
What is your favourite thing about Iglu?
The people. -
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Hard to tell, doing something that challenges me both physically and mentally. -
What words of wisdom would you pass on to future Iglu residents?
If you are the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room.

What are you studying?
Bachelor of Arts - Film and Media -
Why did you choose to study in Australia?
I was attracted towards life Down Under after a month-long vacation in March 2017. The quality of life seemed impeccable and the people were incredibly warm. I came back from that trip with enough dopamine in my nervous system to last me the entire year. But I really did miss being in Australia and instantly decided to go back for more once I had graduated from high school. Looking back, I thank my stars for that life-changing holiday. -
Why did you choose to study in Melbourne?
While being one of the most liveable and student-friendly cities in the world, Melbourne also reminds me of my hometown in India. It's miles outside my comfort zone but it still retains that warm touch of home. The massive sports and arts cultures of the city are also a huge bonus. -
What is your favourite thing about being a student?
Definitely Concessions! Also, the wealth of time we think we possess. -
What is your favourite thing to do when you are not studying?
Watching films (the good stuff), playing tennis, hiking across the state, exploring the foodie hotspots within and beyond the city, and clicking some weirdly abstract photographs. -
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Working in Melbourne's creative industry and hugely missing my life at Iglu. -
Why did you decide to become a Resident Leader (RL)?
I had the good fortune of spending my first year at Iglu with some super amiable RLs. They made the normally terrifying process of adjusting to life away from home easier and less painful through their exciting events and fun interactions. Those memories inclined me to give back to the Iglu Community in my own distinct way. I wanted to be involved in creating comfortable and interesting experiences for new and upcoming residents while also being someone they can open up to and trust. -
What is your favourite thing about being a Resident Leader (RL)?
The role gives me the opportunity to interact with literally every single person staying in the building and the creative freedom to organise events at all scales. -
What is your favourite thing about Iglu?
The fact that it is a melting pot of students from all around the world. The experience of living in a student accommodation is simply incomparable. -
What words of wisdom would you pass on to future Iglu residents?
1. Attend as many events as you can because you'd make some lifelong friends through your interactions within the building. 2. The role of the RL may seem daunting but it's an experience of a lifetime. Super rewarding! Apply whenever you get the chance. 3. Stay ahead of the mess in your apartment. Stress levels go down dramatically when the surroundings look the way they should.
