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.

Wellness Week | Taking care of yourself is important and our Wellness Week team convenor has started off the week that way. Residents were treated to some ‘puppy’ patting time. Research has shown that caring for an animal can lower stress levels. There are loads of great events planned this week so keep an eye out. Thanks to @womenscollege for sharing their cute puppy with us.
Wednesday night the boys went down to @emmanuelcollegeuq in AFL. Next week the boys will be firing for a win against @unioncollegeuq, 8pm on Field 2. 🔰 #stleoscollege
Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), and we are celebrating with lots of rainbows at lunch! 🌈
It's so important that young women feel supported, included, and safe and we're so proud that we're able to show our support for our LGBT residents and staff. Here at Grace, you can go far - just as you are. 🏳️🌈💜 #prideindiversity #gracecollegeuq #UQIDAHOBIT2019
I am too so disappointed. If there are LGBT members then yes they should be accepted etc. But to celebrate like this is so far from the truth of the bible which Grace used to stand by.
I'm so disappointed to see this. You've left your founding principles.
Stay for a year or three ... and connect for life! Applications for 2020 are now being accepted. A simple 1-step process could change your university experience!

Great match in Boys’ Water Polo
It was a great match between Cromwell and IH at the UQ Aquatic Centre last night. Some great goals and near misses made for an exciting night in the pool. Congratulations to the Cromwell boys on a very strong win and thanks again to the students and staff spectators there as always to support. #crommieticker #cromwellcollegeuq_official #icc #iccwaterpolo @ The University of Queensland
