When it comes to student accommodation for QUT students, it doesn’t get much better than Iglu for location, lifestyle and amenities. Don’t take our word for it, hear from our residents themselves!

“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.”
