It's testament to the unique community spirit that exists here at Aquinas that our members regularly clock up hundreds of hours of volunteer work before the first semester has officially begun – with students coming together to help out the community and forge new friendships.

You'll connect with your fellow residents the moment you step in the door – joining our inclusive, diverse college whānau. We offer a full social, cultural and sports calendar to ensure you enjoy a balanced lifestyle, combining study, community and fun as you make your transition from teenage life to independence.

Featuring a spacious, newly-renovated environment with stunning views over the city, a gym, indoor sports court, outdoor space and personalised academic support from dedicated staff, Aquinas is located just a 15-minute walk from campus, or you can use our free shuttle service.

All the staff members here – from the warden to the cleaners – are some of the friendliest people I have ever met. The sub wardens are like older siblings, they’re always there to support you when needed, to have a conversation or play a few card games with you. They help create the homely environment at Aquinas!
