Facilities for a Balanced Student Life

A room is only one part of student accommodation Melbourne. Scape Lincoln College has a substantial collection of shared facilities that cover studying, socialising, entertainment and fitness. The different spaces also mean residents can change their surroundings during the day without necessarily having to leave the building.

Study and Learning Spaces

Students have several options when it is time to concentrate on coursework.

Study Rooms provide dedicated areas for private work or group sessions, making them useful for everything from regular assignments to periods of exam preparation. The Study Lounge offers a less formal setting for reading or getting through everyday university work.

 

There is also an on-site Library, giving residents another quiet place to read and work. For group assignments and presentations, the Meeting Room provides a separate space where several students can work together without taking over one of the more general communal areas.

Having these spaces within the accommodation can be particularly useful when your room is better suited to switching off than spending several hours studying.

Social and Relaxation Zones

The shared areas at Scape Lincoln College take a different approach once the books are put away.

The Common Room acts as a central gathering space, while the Lounge Area gives residents somewhere comfortable to sit and catch up with friends. The TV Lounge provides another setting for watching films or following a favourite show.

For something more interactive, residents can use the Pool Table / Billiards area or spend time in the Entertainment Centre. These facilities give the accommodation a social side without requiring students to organise every activity outside the property.

The communal setup can also make it easier for students to meet people from different courses and backgrounds, particularly during the first few weeks of university when building a new social circle is part of settling into Melbourne.

Wellbeing and Fitness

An on-site Gym is available for residents who want to keep exercise as part of their routine. Having the facility within the accommodation means a workout can fit around lectures, study sessions and other commitments without requiring a separate trip across the city.

Student Services and Support

The resort has staff on site to assist residents with any enquiries or issues they may have throughout their stay. Having personnel on site means students have a point of contact within the housing itself, rather than having to manage every matter themselves.

The hotel also has a Campus Shuttle providing a dedicated transportation alternative to/from local academic campuses.

Security aspects of Scape Lincoln College include:

• Security on Site

• Secure door access

• CCTV

• Security 24 hours
