Aquinas College

The experience is the major part, being part of a smaller college means you get to form bonds with everyone and it is quite literally like family. The vibrancy of the community is what ties it all together

Aquinas was the ideal place to begin my university career. I have met the best of my friends, enjoyed the community atmosphere and had the time of my life. It's truly a place like no other where you have 24/7 support to do your best and make the most of your Otago Uni experience!

I am so grateful for living at AQ for my first year, as it allowed me to thrive in my studies, meet some amazing friends and stay involved in sports, volunteering and many more. I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking to study in Otago

Extraordinary College! Such an awesome family and community vibe, always giving us the best opportunities. Great facilities and food. A place where you're never afraid to be yourself!

Aquinas is more peaceful than other colleges and is the perfect place not just for great academics but also for having fun and forming great social bonds with other people. The staff and residents are nice and the food is really good, so glad to have stayed at AQ

Aquinas feels like one really big home where you are always welcome and there are people constantly happy to see you. The staff are awesome, the RA's feel just like older siblings, and most importantly, your peer residents become like a family to you!
