Scape Peel is student accommodation at 247 Peel Street in North Melbourne, with apartments shared by 3–5 people, single-occupancy studios and dual-occupancy apartments. If you are starting at the University of Melbourne’s Parkville campus and want to walk to class, compare the options by how many people you would share with and the routes you would use each day.
How far are the campus and market on foot?
Parkville campus is about a 4-minute walk from the building. When planning your timetable, use your actual teaching building as the destination and walk the full route to work out when to leave home.
Queen Victoria Market is about a 7-minute walk away. During your inspection, try the walk between the building and the market, and consider what the trip home would feel like carrying groceries.
If you plan to share with classmates, each make a list of preferred room types and living habits before comparing options together. If you want to live alone, start with the single-occupancy studios.
Which shared spaces should you visit during an inspection?
The building has study areas, a 24-hour gym, a rooftop lounge and kitchen, a communal kitchen, a cinema, a games room and a laundry.
Plan the inspection around how you live: visit the study areas if you often work outside your room, check the food preparation space in the communal kitchen if you cook regularly, and try the route from the room to the laundry.
