For more than 100 years we've created a home for our resident members – a place where you'll feel supported as you transition into adulthood and tertiary learning.

The original homestead is attached to our main building with several beautifully maintained bungalows, cottages and houses on-site, and our stunning grounds offer an awesome location for a friendly game of volleyball, basketball or cricket – or a place to share a meal with friends.

We understand what it takes for you to succeed. Our motto – “Scientia Et Amor Illuminant Domum” (“knowledge and love enlightens the home”) – is at the heart of our philosophy. With the right people around you – friendly staff and fellow members – you'll be able to “give it your best shot” and achieve your goals.

What makes Studholme unique is its unparalleled sense of homeliness, that other colleges just can’t match! Being a smaller college makes it easier for everyone to get to know each other, creating one big family. No matter who you are or who your friend groups are, everyone is always invited and welcome to join in – and there's always a bustle of people hanging around.
