Being a Resident at Women’s provides many connections within the Women’s community and to the other colleges on campus at The University of Queensland. It is a great opportunity for any student who does not reside in Brisbane and who wants to embrace the many benefits of a residential college such as academic tutorials, mentoring and networking opportunities.

At Women’s, you’ll quickly discover that College life is central to your university experience. Much more than a place to sleep, Women’s will be your social base and a place to call home. While you’ll have your own room, the communal areas are where you’ll develop lasting friendships.

Future and current residents have access to a range of bursaries and scholarships to assist with residency fees. Click here for more information.

Becoming a Women’s College Associate provides many connections within the Women’s community and to the other colleges on The University of Queensland campus. The Associate program is great for any student who commutes to university and wants to embrace the many benefits of a residential college such as academic tutorials, mentoring and networking opportunities.

Please note that Associate members cannot participate in the ICC (Inter-College Competition) sporting and cultural activities as all ICC participants must reside within the College. Associates, however, are invited to attend and support events, and are welcome to join any social team that fellow students might organise. Associates are also invited to participate in any community/volunteering activities and are also invited to social events as well.

Testimonial

Zoe Garraway was a Women’s College Associate Member in 2019 and became a Resident in 2020. She was the 2021 Associate Officer in the Student Club Executive team.

“My family lives in Norman Park in south-east Brisbane. When my dad and aunty were younger, they both attended college at UQ with my aunty residing at Women’s and they found it to be one of the most enjoyable experiences of their lives. I was keen to be able to experience something similar so decided in 2019 to be an associate member. I enjoyed the experience immensely that I decided to become a resident in 2020 even though my family still lives a 20 minute drive away. I have absolutely love every minute of college. The community is so supportive and helps me balance out my sport and studies. I hope other graduating school students and their families realise that college really is an experience for anyone.”
