Murrumbeena Baptist Church

History

The Murrumbeena Baptist Church commenced the Student Accommodation Project in 1997 to:

Provide an encouraging physical and spiritual environment for tertiary students who must live away from their own home in order to undertake study;

Assist the students to achieve their academic ambitions whilst enjoying a very significant and formative part of their life; and

Encourage the development of self-discipline and mature growth.

What we have to offer

The units are located next to the Murrumbeena Baptist Church Community Centre. Each unit consists of two bed-sit rooms with a shared bathroom and kitchen and meals area. With four units, it can accommodate eight students in total. They are leased on a yearly basis, and they are furnished with bed, tables, chairs, study desks, fridges and shared washing facilities. Water, gas, electricity, and internet are included in the cost. Each room has telephone connection sockets but the service will be optional at students own expense.

Units are allocated on the basis of an application and interview process at the Committee's discretion. Interviews normally begin in November and places are limited, so apply early.
