Moving out from home is undoubtedly a challenge, especially when you're moving across the globe. However, arriving at St Thomas More College was a game-changer for me.

The warmth and kindness I was greeted with by both the students and staff were unparalleled. The sense of community at Tommy More is simply extraordinary. It's a place where I felt welcomed and accepted from day one thanks to the climate of trust and ambition that fosters positive and inspiring relationships.

In addition, the multicultural setting of the college was instrumental in helping me develop a global perspective. From an educational standpoint, Tommy More is a place where anyone can achieve the completeness and experience that a successful professional must have. The college offers initiatives like the Leadership Program and the Careers Week, which provide students with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in the real world.

In short, my time at Tommy More was a transformative experience that not only gave me a world-class education but also helped me become a more open-minded and confident individual. I would highly recommend this college to any international student seeking a truly enriching and fulfilling experience.

“Irish novelist Cecilia Ahern once said, “Home isn’t a place, it is a feeling. ” Although continents away, St. Thomas More College has sparked that touch of home in me. Stemming down to my journey in Perth, Tommy has been that home away from home bringing about that feeling of warmth and welcome to cherish that emotion of comfort. It has been a bundle of pleasure and delight to be greeted each morning with smiles of colour from every soul I meet at Tommy, which indeed makes my days brighter. The interior layout of the College’s accommodation magically shifts my mind to mine back home as it is adorned with comforts and facilities that every student would hope for and enjoy. I am very grateful and privileged to have found Tommy, a best friend away from home.”

I have lived in College since the first day I started at UWA. There was a language bridging course to help me familiarise myself with the University and community. Now, I can say Tommy helps me more with it. The amazing College orientation and friendly RAs, committee members and my neighbours helped me forget being homesick.

They are warm and this helps me power on in my university life.
