Open your mind to new ideas and join a vibrant academically-focused college community where you will learn, discover and grow as a student and individual. Our motto – “Fortune favours the bold” – embodies the culture and spirit of Cumberland, where we hope you'll challenge yourself to think differently, get involved and “have a go”.
Cumberland is your home away from home – with a unique, friendly character that you feel the moment you walk through the door. We offer a variety of learning and social facilities, including live-in student leaders to help you settle in, a comprehensive academic support system, study spaces, an extensive sports and cultural programme, a wide range of volunteering opportunities and a fully-lit astro-turf sports court.
The staff and senior residents go out of their way to help everyone feel at home, and the events – whether academic, social, or just for fun – are always so well thought out. Cumberland is a place where you make lifelong friends and grow both personally and academically. I couldn’t imagine a better place to spend my first year at Otago!
