We believe college should feel like home and open the doors to something bigger. We bring together accommodation, meals, support, and community to create an experience that’s welcoming, inclusive, and unmistakably Union College.
Mascot. Icon. Keeper of the Union College spirit. Boris represents everything we stand for – individuality, confidence, and doing things our own way.
One of the aspects I love about college life is the chance to engage in cultural, community and sporting opportunities..
Now I tutor the classes I did well in, and I love making a difference for Residents who are doing the same degree as I am.
I found a wonderful community that supported and encouraged me academically, and brought me out of my shell.
Having everything I needed in one spot was so relieving, it allowed me to meet people at my uni and doing my degree before my first class.
O-week kicked off and I very quickly formed so many friendships that by the end of the week Union College very much felt like home.
I have been given so much support that has helped me transition from high school to university.
Union College certainly does feel like a home away from home.
Union College is a positive, inclusive and friendly community where everyone feels welcome.
I love the community, companionship and spirit at Union College – it truly feels like one big family.
Demand for places at Union College is strong, so we recommend applications as early in the year as possible. We have four offer rounds across the year, and you are welcome to apply for future years, as there is no cut-off date! So, do not wait until you are offered a place at university.

Friends and family are welcome to visit you, however, due to Fire Safety and Child Protection legislation, they are not permitted to stay the night. Meal vouchers (lunch/dinner) can be purchased so that you can share a meal with your guest.
After you submit your application, a member of our team will reach out to you to confirm your interview time. The interview is a conversation geared towards understanding what you’re seeking out of the Union College experience and whether we are the right fit for you.
