Monash College Student Accommodation

Starting a pathway program is a big step, and having the right place to live makes all the difference. Iglu is purpose-built for students: people who are focused on their studies and looking for a home that makes the transition into college life as smooth as possible. What you get at Iglu goes well beyond four walls and a bed. Every week, a single all-inclusive payment covers your rent, utilities, and high-speed WiFi, so there are no bills to track and no surprises at the end of the month. Free weekday breakfast is ready each morning, study spaces are always available when you need to focus, and 24/7 onsite support means someone is there whenever something comes up. The Monash College Docklands campus is easy to reach from every Iglu Melbourne property, and Iglu Melbourne City is an approved accommodation provider for international students under 18 who are studying at Monash College.

Getting to the Monash College Docklands campus from any Iglu Melbourne property is easy. The campus sits right in the heart of Docklands, a short distance from Southern Cross Station, so most commutes involve a quick train ride or a pleasant ride along Melbourne’s well-connected paths.

The free City Circle tram also stops directly outside the campus, giving you another easy option depending on where you are coming from. From Iglu Flagstaff Station, the commute is particularly convenient – one stop by train to Southern Cross, then a five-minute walk to campus. Iglu Melbourne City and Iglu Flagstaff Gardens are both within 14 minutes by train. If you prefer cycling, all three of those properties are under 12 minutes by bike.
Melbourne’s public transport network is reliable and easy to navigate, and myki cards are available at convenience stores and train stations across the city.

Iglu Melbourne properties offer two main living arrangements to suit different preferences and budgets.

– Studio apartments are fully self-contained, giving you your own kitchen, bathroom, and living space all in one private room.
– For those who want a more social setup, share apartments are available at Iglu Melbourne City, Iglu Flagstaff Gardens, Iglu Flagstaff Station and Iglu South Yarra. In a share apartment, you have your own private bedroom while sharing a kitchen and living area with a small group of flatmates.
– Iglu Melbourne City also offers dedicated room types for international students under 18, including share and studio options.
