Student support

Community Assistants are current UNSW students living on-site at Barker Apartments. Their role is to engage with residents, facilitate social activities and act as the first point of contact for any issues or problems that may arise.

"My schedule is a little hectic and often means I need to stay in the laboratory till very late, so having the freedom to cook my own meals in my own kitchen is quite handy. I’ve got plenty of space in my bedroom and some pretty fantastic housemates."
