Reflections
Preceding the 2012 Australasian Association of College & University Housing Officers (AACUHO) annual conference last April, the association hosted a study tour of campuses and sites throughout southeast Australia. The tour was a whirlwind of activity and information, and participants traveled from Sydney to Bathurst to Canberra and then to Wollongong where the conference was held. The tour included stops at campuses ranging from those that looked like scenes from the Harry Potter stories or the halls of the Australian Defence Force Academy to those that were ultra-contemporary buildings laden with technology. In between campus tours and road-trip stories about everyone’s home campus, there were occasions to enjoy the culture and sights of the country as well as debate the culinary merits of Tim Tams and whether or not beets belong on a hamburger. The itinerary was summed up by one participant: “We braved an iconic race track, a questionable night district, an underground rail maze, a persistent finger puppet, a gigantic merino, mistaken identities, gaping gorges, a sheepcreated road block, and a patriotic visit to the nation’s capital.” All in all, it was an absolute ripper of an experience.
Esther Lee | City University of Hong Kong
“An extremely beneficial aspect of the study tour was seeing different student housing models. Being the only member from Hong Kong and Asia, I was pleased to attract their curiosity about our different set-up and the key issues and challenges faced in Hong Kong. “[As we renovate our] student accommodation, we can learn a lot from the Australian use of stimulating colors and stylish furniture in order to create a dynamic and inviting environment. This illustrates how it is possible to be not only functional but also stimulating, in order to satisfy not only practical but also affective needs. “Also, stolen food from refrigerators is a universal problem in student housing. We were impressed by the imaginative but practical solution at the Australian National University using individual baskets and locks for each student’s food inside a transparent fridge in a self-catering hall.”
