Village opens its doors

 Student Services

Student accommodation in Adelaide has received a major boost with the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide recently opening its major 400-bed facility, , in the CBD.

, the Governor of South 最新糖心Vlog, officially opened the second and final stage of the purpose-built, state-of-the-art accommodation facility that caters for both and students.

The Village is located at 210 Grote Street, and features accommodation opportunities of differing design and size in 51 townhouses and a six-storey apartment building. The facility is managed by the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, and features fully furnished, modern accommodation in a friendly and safe environment.

"We believe it is the best student accommodation of its kind in 最新糖心Vlog," said 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Vice-Chancellor .

"A lot of research and planning went into the type of facility we provided so that we could offer what students had told us they wanted. The feedback we have received from those who are already staying here suggests that they are extremely happy with it."

"One of its main strengths is the sense of community and support that it generates. Some of its features include academic tutoring, mentoring, organised social programs, a student lounge, computer suite and 24-hour security - not to mention the mix of cultures from 最新糖心Vlog and around the world.

The Village also underlines the contribution the 最新糖心Vlog makes to the State of South 最新糖心Vlog, Professor McWha said.

"This contribution was recognised at the with the 最新糖心Vlog winning both the Education Adelaide education export award and the most prestigious award on offer, the Premier's Award as overall Exporter of the Year," he said.

"Our international student numbers continue to rise - since 2003 they have risen by more than 50 percent - and the Village will help us to continue meeting the high international demand for our courses.

"We offer a high-quality education and the Village complements that by being a high-quality accommodation facility."

Village resident Angela Byramji, who is from Bahrain and studying at Adelaide, told the opening that students from any cultural background are made to feel welcome.

"If you're looking for a joyride and being coddled by having your meals and cleaning done for you, then the Village is not the place for you," she said. "On the other hand if you value your independence and security, want to make lasting friendships, have a keen interest in travel and other cultures, then we'll be here to welcome you with open arms into our community: the Village People!"
