Life at Student Living Shafston

Life inside Student Living Shafston Brisbane is designed to maximise your study focus and social downtime. It’s not just four walls; it’s an amenity-rich ecosystem that actually supports your goals.

The Facilities

Since every unit is a Brisbane self-contained studio, the baseline is already high: private kitchenettes, en-suite bathrooms, and your own air conditioning in most rooms. But the common areas? They're pure gold. Forget expensive external memberships; there’s a massive, fully equipped, on-site gym so you can hit your fitness goals without leaving the building. The communal lounge area is a perfect chill-out zone, often featuring a large screen TV for movie nights or watching major sporting events. Need to buckle down for a deadline? Dedicated study rooms provide the quiet retreat you need, away from your bed. Plus, there’s a covered outdoor area perfect for evening hangouts or enjoying the Brisbane climate. The added bonus? A convenient ground-floor café means your essential caffeine fix is literally an elevator ride away. High-speed, unlimited Wi-Fi is included and accessible throughout the whole building—a non-negotiable for modern QUT student accommodation.

The Social Experience

The vibe here is independent but friendly. While the studio-only setup caters to those who value privacy, the common areas and the active Shafston College accommodation precinct ensure you never feel isolated. The on-site team is known for running a full calendar of social events and activities, from BBQ nights to fitness classes and local area tours. This helps residents, especially those new to the city, effortlessly meet people and build a community. The best social spot? The outdoor areas near the river, perfect for group study sessions that quickly devolve into sunset chats. This property successfully fosters a welcoming atmosphere, even for those who prefer the quiet autonomy of a private studio.

Safety

Safety is non-negotiable at Student Living Shafston Brisbane. The property is equipped with multiple layers of secure access control, ensuring that only residents and authorised staff can enter the building and your floor. Each Brisbane self-contained studio has a secure electronic key lock. Most importantly, there is a dedicated, customer-focused on-site staff, including after-hours emergency support. CCTV monitors all common areas 24/7. You get peace of mind knowing there’s always a friendly face at reception during business hours and professional help available around the clock, which is a major factor when choosing affordable student housing Brisbane.
