With complimentary tutoring, a number of study spaces and a wealth of support and first class programs, living somewhere like St Thomas More College may be a smart strategy for 2021.
And it’s not just for students who are studying at UWA or coming from rural WA either. St Thomas More College is home for a number of metro students, as well as students who attend all five universities in Perth.
