University College, your gateway to Otago
Big, bold and lively! University College is the largest residential college at the University of Otago. Since 1969, UniCol has provided a fantastic living-learning experience for thousands of Otago students. We bring together academic support, accommodation, recreation and social activities into a vibrant and dynamic community of students and staff.
The central campus location puts you in the middle of the university and all student services. North Dunedin's exciting student quarter is right on our doorstep with easy access to theatres, clubs, cafes, restaurants and sporting facilities. UniPol and the Dunedin Stadium are a short walk away.
Our fantastic facilities include: extensive, well-equipped common rooms, an amazing dining room, outside gardens, study facilities, a fitness centre and a small library. Every resident at UniCol has an individual, warm, fully-furnished bedroom.
Our friendly staff are dedicated accommodation professionals and are committed to encouraging positive academic and social success.
