What’s on at Clayton campus for new students?
Join a non-residential college
Are you worried about missing out on social and academic advantages because you don’t live on-campus? Monash’s non-residential colleges (NRCs) provide these benefits to students living off-campus. Gain access to social engagement and support, mentoring from senior students and a range of social, sporting, academic and cultural programs by applying to become a part of one of Clayton’s three NRCs. Activities for semester 2 include Constellation Ball, Casino Night and many more!
