Sporting the New College colours
Where you choose to live can make an enormous difference to your university experience.
Living in a full-board residential college, such as New College, provides friendship and community life, academic support, an abundance of sporting, theatrical and extracurricular activities, and the chance to develop and mature in many ways. The community at New College is famous for its warmth and energy, and is a place to call ‘home’.
The Master leads the Pastoral Care Team, which includes a Dean of Residents and Assistant Dean of Residents who both live in the College, as well as Resident Advisers living on every floor. This environment makes New College ideal for students transitioning from life at home to university. Academic Tutors provide subject-specific support to residents in the form of tutorials and one-to-one help, as needed. Provision of high quality pastoral care and academic support is a priority for the College.

New College is far more than just a place to live and study. Many residents end up living in the community for a number of years whilst they undertake their undergraduate program at UNSW. New College attracts students from regional, rural and metropolitan areas of Australia and the College has a strong international student presence. One of the huge advantages of catered accommodation while studying an undergraduate degree is the enormous amount of time you can save when you are provided with three meals a day, seven days a week. The weekly cleaning service is also a very useful time-saver. Accommodation contracts are for 44 weeks based on the UNSW academic calendar, with alternative-length contracts possible upon discussion with the Dean and depending on the academic program.
Founded on Christian faith and values, the College warmly welcomes students of all faiths and none, from every culture and background, from all around the globe. While based on and influenced by Christian faith and values, we impose no test of religious belief on our resident members. As a not-for-profit, New College seeks to offer an affordable experience without compromising on quality.
New College is positioned on campus at UNSW and is centrally located, close to the Airport (15 minutes), the City (15 minutes), Coogee Beach (5 minutes), Maroubra Beach (10 minutes), and Bondi Beach (15 minutes).
