The new ivory tower, stackable uni container homes

Self-contained, container like accommodation is winning support from a “new generation” of uni students who would rather forgo the antics – and shared shower blocks – of residence halls.

”The students … are changing,” said the director of accommodation at ANU, Marie Wensing. ”A lot of students … have never shared a bathroom. When you’re in the halls … sharing with 15 others it’s a bit of a culture shock.” The apartments have been popular with postgraduate and international students, she said, who wanted more sophisticated accommodation and privacy.

Actually some of these container size homes aren’t too bad at all.
