Multicultural, multiethnic and home to more than 500 resident members, University College is your big, bold and vibrant home, where we will help you achieve your academic goals while experiencing all that university life offers. We are the complete package – combining a perfect location (situated right on campus), great facilities (including fitness centre, multiple common rooms, seminar rooms, library and courtyards), a supportive academic environment (a mentor for each student and close engagement with academic faculties) and a high-energy vibe.
We stand for academic endeavour, community engagement and personal development. At University College you'll thrive, enjoying a wide range of activities – from themed dinners to 48-hour-film clubs, sports comps to cultural challenges or hanging with friends in our fantastic common spaces.
There is no better place to live on campus than University College. I never have to walk more than five minutes to get to lectures, tutorials, or any of the campus study spaces. Being just a ten-minute walk from the gym has also motivated me to continue my fitness journey!
