CFC culture 2020 1Cultural events and activities are an important part of life at Caroline Freeman Colleges. CFC competes with enthusiasm in the Inter-Collegiate cultural competition in events such as:

  • the Maori and Pacifica concert
  • art and literary competitions
  • musical jam
  • 48-hour film-making
  • the Big College Sing
  • debating and other events
  • in-house dramatic productions

CFC culture 2020 2Within the college itself we highly value our cultural interactions with events such as our open microphone nights, “The Flamingo Lounge”, in-house debating, portrait painting, chess and more.

Our residents are also strongly encouraged to participate in campus cultural events and clubs run through the Otago University Students' Association (OUSA) and similar events run through the Otago Recreation Services at UniPol.

The tutorials are helpful and the tutors are very easy to talk to and go to about any questions. I find the study spaces very good.
