Lush greenery and colourful gardens provide the perfect backdrop for your first-year experience at Carrington – all within a short walk from campus.
Our close-knit community of scholars is personified by manaakitanga (caring for and nurturing others) and atawhai (kindness and generosity). People are at the heart of everything we do.
Carringtonians are bright and engaged, getting around everything the collegiate experience has to offer. You will see us laughing and cheering each other on at Inter-College events; singing and making music together; volunteering in the community; working hard to achieve our academic goals, and happily playing sport (and games!) together.
As the first co-ed residential College in Australasia, our rich history of scholarship, service and creating life-long friendships traces all the way back to 1945!
I’ve already made some life-long friends that I could see at my wedding – all in a matter of months! It’s definitely the communal spaces and the crazy concept of living with friends that makes you bond so much quicker than if you weren’t in a college. There are also people of many different backgrounds and character, so I reckon anyone could find their perfect fit.
