“Moving away from home to a city where I knew only a few people was an incredibly daunting feeling at first, but I can now say that moving to the Baptist Student Hostel was the best decision my parents and I could have made. The Hostel is a bright, friendly, and comfortable place with a homely feel, making it the perfect place to live for the first year of University. After a long day of study it’s a nice feeling to know that a hot, delicious and nutritious meal and a warm room are there for you. The rooms are a great size with loads of storage and freedom to make the space your own with photos, posters and decorations.
“One of the best things about the Hostel is the support network. The friendships that I have built in my year at the Hostel will be those to last a lifetime! Through the tight-knit environment of the Hostel filled with like-minded young Christians I have made the best friends who have been there to study with, laugh with, cry with, stress-out with, do crazy stuff with and most importantly grow in faith with. Sharon and Graeme are fantastic host parents who are always there to support the students and encourage them in their studies and make outstanding meals night after night!
“The Hostel has been more to me than simply a place to live while studying. It’s become a home away from home, a vessel through which I have made joyful memories, discovered myself and grown in my faith.”
