The Experience

The Jane experience

University is about so much more than earning a degree.

It's about finding your place, building lifelong friendships, discovering who you are and creating memories that stay with you long after graduation.

At Jane, students become part of a welcoming residential college community where they are encouraged to connect and make the most of every opportunity university life has to offer.

For many students, Jane becomes more than student accommodation in Hobart. It becomes a home away from home.

Find your place

Starting university is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, especially if you're moving to Hobart from elsewhere in Tasmania, interstate or overseas.

At Jane, you're welcomed into a supportive community from day one.

Shared meals, traditions, events, study sessions and everyday moments help students build meaningful friendships and feel part of something bigger than themselves.

For many residents, some of the strongest connections are formed around the dining table. Coming together for meals creates a sense of community and belonging that becomes a defining part of the Jane experience.

It's this sense of connection that sits at the heart of life at Jane.

Grow in confidence

University is a time of growth and discovery.

Living away from home encourages independence, self-confidence and new perspectives. At Jane, students are supported as they navigate the challenges and opportunities of university life.

Whether it's speaking up in class, trying something new, taking on responsibility or simply finding the confidence to be yourself, university is a time to grow into the person you want to become.

For students who want to get involved, opportunities such as the Jane Student Club and Senior Resident roles provide meaningful ways to contribute to the community, develop leadership skills and make a lasting impact on college life.

Create memories that last

Some of the most memorable parts of university happen outside the classroom.

The friendships formed over dinner, the traditions shared between generations of students, the celebrations, adventures and spontaneous moments all become part of the story.

Years after graduation, these are often the experiences that residents remember most.

Be supported every step of the way

Feeling supported makes all the difference.

Jane combines accommodation, wellbeing programs, academic support and a strong community culture to help students thrive throughout their university journey.

From nutritious daily meals to wellbeing programs, academic support and a welcoming community, Jane provides the practical support that helps students settle in and make the most of university life.

Students have the freedom to live independently while knowing there is always support available when they need it.

More than student accommodation

Students searching for accommodation near the University of Tasmania are often looking for more than a room.

They are looking for connection, community and a place where they can feel at home.

As a residential college in Hobart, Jane offers more than student accommodation. With meals, academic support, wellbeing programs and a welcoming community built into everyday life, students quickly find a place where they can feel at home.

For students, that means more time to focus on study, friendships and new experiences. For families, it provides confidence that the essentials are taken care of and support is close at hand.

That's what makes the Jane experience different.
