If youâre moving away from home for university, there are several accommodation options available: staying in a share house (with people you may not know), a private provider (such as UniLodge or Scape) or a residential college.
Can you picture yourself at University College?
We are one of the larger residential colleges in Melbourne, housing 340 students. We are also very diverse, as we accept students who study not only at the University of Melbourne, but also other nearby universities including RMIT, Monash Pharmacy and ACU.
While we do have some fantastic modern facilities, our greatest asset is our people, and students say they feel at home as soon as they walk through the door. Students and staff all know each other by name, and there is genuine care and support for each other. UC is a place where you can easily meet people, and we often hear the words âfriendlyâ, ârelaxedâ and âsupportiveâ when people describe our community.
One of the great things about UC is that different year levels, undergraduates and graduates, all mix freely, with resident tutors also living amongst students.
From the day you move in, there are second year students who act as your mentors, helping you settle into your new home. That kicks off a full week of exciting activities, organised by the Student Club, to help you find your way around campus, meet amazing new friends and have fun exploring Melbourne together.
You have the opportunity to be involved in a broad range of activities that are of interest to you. The more you put into College life, the more youâll get out of it.
