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.

Alice Fowles – Resident Assistant
Bachelor of Nursing, UQ
Alice has been working at RBWH in the ICU but recently transferred to a medical unit due to the rising pressure to prepare for COVID-19.
Read about Alice’s experience on the frontline and her thoughts…….
“The elevators have restrictions on the number of people allowed in them and there are concerns about the amount of personal protective equipment available.
Despite this, the healthcare professionals I have worked with have shown amazing resilience and calmness to the pandemic. Everyone seems to be ready to work together as a team to get this year back into the 2020 we all deserve.
The best thing everyone can do is maintain personal hygiene measures and social distancing as best as possible. This pandemic, while it has been causing loads of negativity in the world, I think there are many things to gain from it.
I'm much more grateful to have been able to visit my family and hang out with my friends before this situation. I definitely won't complain about the distance between College and my home again. I think it will teach everyone a lot about the importance of infection control, like washing your hands regularly.
In such a depressing situation it is important to remember the positives that can come from it.
Good on you Alice , great attitude. You are doing an amazing job, thank you ❤️
Well said Alice 💖💖
That’s my girl !
