## Resource

International students in Brisbane are grappling with deep isolation as Victoria Park—once their lifeline for connection and belonging—is now shuttered for Olympic stadium construction. This beloved green space, where they gathered, celebrated culture, and found solace far from home, is more than just a park; it’s a vital social anchor. Its loss amplifies homesickness and threatens Brisbane’s appeal as a student-friendly city, as mental well-being and community ties are stripped away. While officials recognize the emotional toll and the need for inclusive public spaces, the hope remains that new community hubs will rise to fill the void—because true home is built on people, not places.
