Life at Federation
Starting uni might feel like a big change, especially if you've had a break from study. But we think you'll like life at Fed – the academic side and the social side.
This is uni
If you’ve never done any tertiary study before, you might be wondering what uni life will actually be like. Here’s the gist: You’ll have tutes, labs and lectures (if you’re higher ed) and classes (if you’re at TAFE). You’ll access resources online. You might do placement (work experience). And you should expect to do homework or assignments outside class times. But uni’s not just about study – the social side is huge. Embrace it.

Events and activities
We don’t expect you to study all the time. Breaks are important. Socialising is good for the soul. That’s why we run heaps of campus events and activities. And most of them are free.
Living on campus
Living on campus is fun. Sometimes too fun, if you catch our drift. But tell your parents that according to research, res students are more likely to be successful in their studies.
Financial assistance
Financial and health struggles are real, but so are our support services. Paying your rent on time, looking after your mental wellbeing, eating on a budget. And trying to study. It’s a lot. We’re here to help.
Academic support
Getting the grades you want is absolutely possible. Especially if you speak to our Learning Skills Advisors, join a study group, attend our academic skills workshops and access our 24/7 feedback service.
