“I chose to live at Iglu because of its proximity to university and also seeing all the fun extras like breakfast and events that they offered compared to just renting.”
Caitlin – Iglu Kelvin Grove
From Darwin, NT Australia
“Starting a whole new life in a whole new country as an introvert is hard, I knew that if I were to live completely on my own, I’d stay a hermit. I searched up student accommodations online and came across Iglu and I loved how the property looked, as well as how student-oriented the community is!”
Dinah – Iglu Brisbane City
From Singapore
“No matter how different you are, there will always be a group of people that you can fit into. I can message my friends at Iglu anytime and there is always something going on that I can join. I can go downstairs to study and meet various people that are fun to chat with.”
