the scape experience
The friendships formed and bonds created during a student’s time at university will shape them for life. This is why we want our students to have the best possible experiences while they’re in our Scape home.
“I’m Chinese, so having some Chinese staff helped me a lot to adapt to this environment very quickly. All of the facilities here are great, but I really like how big the gym is.”
Yang Chu, Scape Merivale
“The reason I decided to live here was because of the staff. They’re very familiar with my culture, they’re approachable and really make me feel like I can reach out to them at anytime. That’s why I chose to live here. The location is great, it’s convenient and close to everywhere. University, restaurants, the city, shopping, I have easy access to all of it.”
