I don't go to SUV, but I hear it is quite a good place to stay, and it is quite cheap if u flat with other ppl. For example if u flat with 4 other people it's $140 a week including $40 of U-card food which u can spend at the uni village bars there.
I wasn't the "college kind" of person but I still ended up going to Wesley College, and fitted in really well. I met all different kinds of people many of whom weren't the stereotypcial collegian.
