South East Flats

Encyclopedia : S : SO : SOU : South East Flats

The South East Flats is part of Monash Residential Services at Monash University, located at the south-eastern corner of the university's Clayton campus. It is made up of two blocks of flats, and the flat sizes range from 2 bedrooms to 5 bedrooms. There are 30 flats in total, designed to accommodate 130 students. Each flat is fully furnished to include all the necessities of student life, such as chairs and a table.

The main difference between the halls of residence and the South East Flats is the support services given to the students. There is a very low level of interaction between the residents and the resident advisors; this example is set by the College Head. Thus, the resident advisors and College Head choose to keep a low profile and play a minimal and purely administrative role in the day-to-day existence of the South East Flats, as opposed to the more personal and convivial atmosphere offered at the halls of residence. Several functions are held throughout the year for the residents, however, these typically have a very low rate of attendance. 2006 saw the addition of a common recreational area, known as the pavilion; this is available exclusively to residents of the South East Flats.

Within the Monash Residential community, the South East Flats is renowned for its quiet and calm atmosphere, which is not only conducive to study, but also allows the residents to indulge in the most popular social activity at the flats, bird watching.
