Student support
Community Assistants are UNSW students who live at Barker Apartments. They engage with residents, organise social activities and act as the main contact for any issues or concerns that arise.
"My schedule is a little hectic. Often, I need to stay in the laboratory till very late, so having the freedom to cook my meals in my own kitchen is handy. I’ve got plenty of space in my bedroom and some pretty fantastic housemates."
