Scape Cornell Place is student accommodation at 502 Swanston Street, Carlton, offering both twin apartments and single studios. If you want to live near RMIT University or the University of Melbourne and are comparing sharing with living alone, start with these two occupancy options.
Walking to class: check your destination
RMIT is about a 4-minute walk away, and the University of Melbourne about a 7-minute walk. Once you have your timetable, include the teaching building address in your commute and allow extra time to find your classroom on the first day.
There is a tram stop outside, and State Library Station is within walking distance. Check your direction before choosing a platform.
Shopping and activities in the building
QV shopping centre is around a 6-minute walk away, and Melbourne Central shopping centre around a 7-minute walk. If you need household essentials after arriving in Melbourne, plan trips to these two locations around your shopping list.
The building has study areas, a 24-hour gym, and a communal kitchen and dining area. These are spaces to compare if you want to study or exercise outside your bedroom.
Leisure facilities include a rooftop terrace, cinema and gaming area, with bicycle storage and common-area cleaning also provided. Visit the shared spaces you would use during an inspection before deciding whether they fit your habits.
