We're in the building!

Today is the first day that we have had residents in the building. I write this blog post from the Dean's apartment. Fourteen other residents are in their rooms upstairs. We are the 'advance party' in residence on this first night. While the majority of residents will not arrive until February some residents start classes next week and some are continuing doctoral students who have their research under way.


Our very first resident to check in was Laura Sharpe who is in the 3rd year of a doctoral program. She has not come far, just 60 km from Penrith on the western edge of Sydney, but others have come from various parts of the world including the USA, Hong Kong, China and Singapore.

The building looks wonderful and will be even better when it is filled with its full complement of 316 residents.

I was also joined in the Village on day one by Rebecca Barnes who will be acting as our Senior Resident throughout January and Connie Voon who is our new receptionist.

It's been an exciting day.

PLACES ARE STILL AVAILABLE - APPLY NOW!
