About LiveUQ
What is a Residential College?
Aside from the convenience of having every university facility and service only minutes away, there are other great advantages of living at a Residential College:
-
Fully catered accommodation
-
Supportive staff and secure premises
-
Academic tutorial programs and peer group support
-
Community service opportunities
-
Opportunities to form friendships and enhance your networks
-
Active sporting, cultural and social life
-
College scholarships, prizes and bursaries.
Life at a Residential College complements your university studies, not only academically, but also socially, culturally and in the sporting arena. Residential Colleges offer a real student experience.
The Colleges
Colleges offer you the opportunity to enhance your student experience through living a well-rounded university life:
-
Hone your academic skills.
-
Pursue your sporting and cultural interests — everything from athletics to water polo, chess to Choralfest, rowing to rugby…
-
Participate in inter-college activities
-
Try out something new in a supportive environment
-
Form lasting friendships
-
Build your professional network with students studying everything from medicine to music, economics to engineering.
-
Develop your leadership potential, and create change.
Once you become a resident of a College, you are part of that College community for life.

National Reconciliation Week 2020
From the 27th of May to the 3rd of June, National Reconciliation Week allows us to learn and reflect upon our shared history and culture and work towards achieving reconciliation in Australia for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The prevalent theme this year is #InThisTogether. Today, NRW is asking people to take to social media to acknowledge Country and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the Land, wherever you are.

Thanks Samuel. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay!
Wonderful place ,visited in 2009. Beautiful environment. Beautiful place.
At a recent Student Club General Meeting, an initiative to form a Community Engagement Committee was approved. This new committee elected five students to be responsible for organising and creating events for students who are at College during the COVID-19 crisis.
Congratulations to these students for undertaking this leadership opportunity.

A shout out to our fantastic team of Residential Assistants who have shown true leadership throughout Semester 1. This year certainly wasn’t what you (or any of us) were expecting, however you have excelled. Thank you!

National Reconciliation Week is celebrated 27 May - 3 June. This year’s theme is “In This Together”, reminding us that, whether in a crisis or in reconciliation, we are all #InThisTogether. Celebrate and learn more about our shared histories, cultures and achievements through UQ’s NRW program - life.uq.edu.au/reconciliationweek #NRW2020. On National Sorry Day today we acknowledge the impact of the removal and separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families, communities and Country - www.reconciliation.org.au/national-sorry-day-2020//.
Ross, Jenny “Ollie” and the whole Cromwell team wish all of the Cromwell Mum’s a very special day on Sunday. With your children at home, how could you not be spoilt!!
