The New Wave of Student Living

 

The New Wave program at Yugo is a specially designed program for students under 18 years old. It combines safe, supported living with life skills development, fun social activities, and a welcoming community. It’s the perfect way for young students to grow independently, make friends, and thrive academically and personally, while giving parents peace of mind.

Why join the New Wave?

Safe and Supported Living

Your safety and wellbeing always come first. With 24/7 on-site support and a dedicated New Wave coordinator for under 18s, students feel at home from day one. A nightly curfew and sign-in system ensures extra reassurance for families while allowing students the freedom to explore city life safely.

Develop Essential Life Skills

Learning to live independently is fun at New Wave. Students join hands-on workshops exclusively for Under 18’s. Workshops include interactive cooking classes, cleaning, organisation, and sustainability projects - all designed to build confidence, independence, and social connection in a supportive environment.

Fun Social Activities

Regular social events and excursions help you meet friends, explore your new city, and feel part of the community. From movie nights and group dinners to cultural experiences around your new city, these activities encourage teamwork, creativity, and confidence while making student life enjoyable and memorable.

Thrive Academically, Socially and Personally

With a balance of structured support, social engagement, and personal growth, New Wave is where students develop life skills, build lasting friendships, and thrive: all while enjoying the freedom and excitement of living in the heart of the city, steps away from campus.

Structured Support for a Safe Stay

Student safety and wellbeing are our top priorities. With 24/7 on-site support and a dedicated New Wave coordinator exclusively for under 18s, every student receives personalised guidance and ongoing assistance to feel secure and at home throughout their stay.

 

For extra peace of mind, we have a nightly curfew and sign-in system. This balance of independence and structure ensures students are supported, and families are reassured.
