La Trobe University City Campus

We have been one of Australia's pioneering universities for more than 50 years. In 1967, 552 students enrolled at La Trobe University, the third university to open in Victoria, which has grown to accommodate more than 36,000 students, with over 7,000 international students from 110 countries.

We now have a network of campuses, with over 28,000 students at our Melbourne Campus and over 7,500 at our campuses in Albury-Wodonga, Bendigo, Mildura, Melbourne City (Collins Street), Shepparton and Sydney.

Student support services: The university offers a range of support services for students at the City Campus, including academic assistance, career counselling, and health and well-being support.

Networking and industry connections: Due to its location in the heart of Melbourne's CBD, the City Campus offers students opportunities to connect with industry professionals, attend networking events, and engage in practical learning experiences.

La Trobe University's City Campus does not offer on-campus accommodation. However, there are various off-campus accommodation options available in Melbourne's central business district (CBD) and surrounding suburbs, catering to the needs of students and professionals studying at the City Campus.

Some of the off-campus accommodation options include:

Private rental properties: Students can rent apartments, flats, or houses, either individually or with roommates. 

Share houses: Students can find shared housing arrangements where they rent a room in an established household. 

Student housing complexes: Several purpose-built student housing complexes are available throughout Melbourne, offering a range of accommodation options, from single rooms to shared apartments. These complexes often provide additional amenities such as study areas, gyms, and common rooms. 

Homestay: International students or those looking for a more immersive cultural experience may consider homestay arrangements, where they live with a local family. This can provide a supportive and welcoming environment for students new to Melbourne.
