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:

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.

At the recent Oceania Athletic Championships held in Townsville, our very own Cromwellian, Ben Gibson, placed 2nd in the U/20 Men’s 800m.
Ben’s impressive performance off very little actual running training, due to an ankle injury he carried right up to a few weeks before the championships, says a lot about his talent and resilient character. We look forward to watching Ben progress through the athletic ranks and be rewarded for all of his hard work and dedication. #crommieticker #cromwellcollegeuq_official #bengibson #athletics
