Sharing a house with people from all over the world taught me to be humble and to treasure variety.

One thing I really like about Madre Nazarena Student's House (MNSH) is its strategic location: it is close to the city and to most universities, and it is just opposite the beautiful St Ignatius' Catholic Church which makes it easy to go to church so that I do not miss the Sunday Mass.
Arriving in a new country, not knowing anyone or not knowing your way around can be a daunting, intimidating and overwhelming experience.
I came to Melbourne, Australia from India and immediately I felt welcomed into Madre Nazarena Student's House (MNSH) by the Sisters and the current residents. When I moved into this student house, the Sisters and the residents made me feel so comfortable - and this is an ongoing process.
It was a bold step to move from a very small rural area in southern NSW to the big smoke of a city. When I was looking for accommodation in Melbourne my parents were concerned for my safety and also how I would manage domestic chores and study.
As an international student, I experienced how hard it was to find a place and to feel at home. After moving several times from one apartment to another, I finally found Madre Nazarena Student's House (MNSH) in Richmond, Australia. From the first day I moved in, I felt welcomed, warm and—most importantly—at home.
Based in Richmond, Victoria, Australia, Madre Nazarena Student's House provides accommodation for female tertiary students from overseas, interstate, and country Victoria.
