Uni Students Love arriva. Here’s Why Parents Do Too!
Choosing accommodation for university life is a big deal. Especially when you consider that the wants and needs of students and their parents tend to be a little different. On one hand, students are looking to enjoy comfort, convenience, and a sense of community. On the other, many parents are focused on safety, security, and good value.
Enter arriva: quality rentals that strike the perfect balance for students and parents alike. Keep reading to find out why.

We know safety is a top concern for parents when a child heads off to university. Having a child leave home for the first time can be a whirlwind of emotions. It’s exciting to see them to embark on the next chapter of their lives, but maybe you’re slightly nervous too – we totally get it.
You can feel confident knowing our arriva buildings are designed with safety in mind. Most of our residences feature secure access control at building entrances (with more upgrades on the way), and every building has CCTV in key communal areas. The majority of our apartments also come with their own security alarms – and in the few that don’t, the floors themselves are restricted-access for added protection.
It all adds up to peace of mind for parents, while still giving students the freedom to enjoy their independence.

Every one of our buildings is designed with comfort and modern living in mind. Each apartment offers plenty of space to read, relax, or study with friends. High-speed internet connections also come as standard – supporting students’ digital needs, whether researching assignments or catching up with family back home. It’s the perfect blend of comfort and convenience, making it feel like home from day one.

Things happen, but with arriva, our friendly in-house maintenance team is always ready to jump into action and sort out issues fast. If there is an issue, we’re on hand to keep life running smoothly.
We even have a resident portal where our tenants can log requests and upload photos of their issues, and most requests are quickly resolved by the next day. It’s that kind of service that keeps students stress-free and focused on their studies – as well as giving parents extra peace of mind knowing help is always just a click away.
DID YOU KNOW: The arriva portal also provides info about each unit and appliances, as well as local cafes and cinemas, transport options, within the surrounds!

Location really is everything. We have arriva apartments across Sydney, including a residence in Camperdown near the University of Sydney and the University of Technology, and another in Strathfield close to the Australian Catholic University (ACU).
No long commutes to get to class – just a quick trip by foot or bus. Plus, with nearby eateries and things to do nearby, social life is effortless. Everything you need for a balanced, enjoyable uni experience is right outside your door.

We know that university isn’t just about lectures and textbooks – it’s about making new friends and creating memories. That’s why we actively promote a strong sense of community. We have open communal spaces where residents can have a picnic or BBQ, chat and soak up the sun – everyone is welcome. For students, it’s a chance to build friendships that could last a lifetime. For parents, it’s the reassurance that their child is part of a supportive, friendly environment.

Everyone loves clear, straightforward finances. With us, there are no surprises. Our transparent rental agreements mean students and parents can focus on enjoying this exciting chapter rather than worrying about hidden fees. Everything is easy to manage, so you can relax and concentrate on the good stuff – studying, exploring, and making the most of uni life.

Navigating university life is a big step – full of excitement and nerves, sometimes all at once. The right living environment can make all the difference. That’s where arriva comes in.
arriva Strathfield is located just 2.1km from top-ranking Australian Catholic University, and arriva Camperdown just 750m from Sydney University, with arriva Chippendale is just across the road from UTS and Notre Dame University!
