The UC Difference
Union College was UQ’s first college to provide a friendly, co-ed accommodation option and no religious affiliation. Our community is composed of an equal number of male and female residents, enrolled in either an undergraduate or postgraduate course as domestic or international students. From our early beginnings, we have adopted a policy for no initiation ceremonies, hierarchy, hazing, fresherisation or peer pressure. We’re all about respect.
“We then toured Union College. Both our mouths almost dropped open when we walked into Union College. It practically looked like a resort. We then met the receptionist who introduced us to a student who showed us around. She was friendly, knowledgeable but most of all “real”. We were almost sold on the spot. The orientation was thorough. The communication friendly and efficient. The friends on her floor have been welcoming. The facilities excellent. But most importantly the culture is one of respect, that encourages student empowerment and fairness. This is NOT easy to build or maintain so from us both a huge well done and thank you.”
Father of Resident, Peter Hutton
