Diploma of Photoimaging, NMIT Fairfield Campus
"I study photo-imaging at NMIT Fairfield campus. I saw Yarra House advertised at NMIT TAFE and so I checked their website for more details. When I first arrived at Yarra House I was feeling good but at the same time a little bit anxious about living on my own.
I would recommend my friends to live here at Yarra House: it is the best accommodation for me. I’ve got everything I need here and I love it. The best thing about living at Yarra House is that I’ve met many new people and made many friends. I also really enjoy living in Melbourne in general and I will always remember the experience of being a student and living on campus.
I love that Yarra House is surrounded by nature, which makes it very peaceful. I often sit on the balcony to relax and go for a walk down to the river for some fresh air. The support Yarra House provides has been vital for me."

"At Yarra House there’s always a friend to chat to, an event to keep me entertained and a cheap meal to curb those student hunger pains! It’s such a beautiful spot to live, near the river and with endless parks to explore. I really like Pete (the resident peacock) and the other human residents too!"

“Living on campus is so convenient, it allows me to concentrate on my studies without the hassle of commuting to and from class.”
