Accommodation Prospectus 2021 ANU Accommodation Services 7 Testimonial from Ellie George
Moving from my regional hometown of Tamworth to Canberra was a big step for me. I had never lived away from home before — let alone so far away — and all my school friends either stayed in town or went to universities a lot closer to home.
Canberra felt big and busy, so I was really grateful that I moved into Bruce Hall, which is my residential college. Some of the older students that I lived with took us on walks into the city so that we could find our way around, showed where to park our cars and where to buy our books, so that we weren’t figuring everything out on our own.
Despite not knowing anybody in Canberra when I first moved, I felt immediately welcome at Bruce. There were heaps of events and activities to help all of us get to know each other; though all of us were coming from different places — rural, regional, or metropolitan — we were all finding our way in a new environment.
Bruce Hall has become a home away from home for me, and the opportunities that I’ve had here have been amazing. Living on campus at the ANU, I’ve met and built relationships with hundreds of talented, motivated people from all over Australia. I’ve learned about leadership, teamwork, and how to push myself and aim higher. I feel so lucky to be a part of a community that is so supportive and conducive to growth, but that also allows me to stay true to myself.
8 Accommodation Prospectus 2021 ANU Accommodation Services Testimonial from Maisie Walker Stelling
Growing up in regional Victoria, Canberra and the ANU seemed worlds away from our small town. Moving here, Burton and Garran Hall provided a home away from home which I am convinced is the best I will ever experience.
The community thrives on a culture of what can only be described as rambunctious kind-heartedness — from the moment I arrived, I felt that the staff, pastoral care team and the community as a whole genuinely cared for my wellbeing. There is a place for everyone at B&G, of all backgrounds and interests; it is this melting pot of life-histories which helped me expand my horizons to sporting and academic opportunities which I may have never experienced otherwise.
In addition, living on campus with such a diverse group has helped me to become fast friends with people I could never have met without the supporting nature of this community. Without hesitation, I can highly recommend B&G as a welcoming place for anyone considering on-campus living.

10 Accommodation Prospectus 2021 ANU Accommodation Services Testimonial from Tim Chan
Travelling thousands of miles away from home to study abroad, without a shadow of a doubt, is one of the most challenging things I have ever done in my life. Yet it is definitely the best decision I have ever made so far.
Prior to my arrival, I was so nervous: Canberra was completely new to me and I had no idea about the environment and challenges I was going to face. Luckily, I chose to stay in Wright Hall. Residents and staff members here are very friendly and caring. They are the nicest people I have ever met. They are eager to offer me assistance to settle into and adapt to life in ANU and Australia. They are more than just my friends. They are my family here (Yes, both residents and staff members here in Wright Hall).
Living in residential halls not only has granted me opportunities to join various events and chances to meet people from all around the world, but also academic support from my fellow residents. They offered me advice on studying in the university and the methods to ace the academic challenges ahead. This is something you could never experience elsewhere.
Living in ANU and Wright Hall is something you would never want to miss, and I am always proud to call ANU and Wright Hall my home.
