Offering a high-quality, safe and culturally diverse environment, residential colleges go beyond just providing a place to live – they foster personal and professional growth. With extensive academic support, they make your path from secondary to tertiary studies smooth and successful. In addition, you will have access to a vibrant mix of social, community, sporting, and cultural activities that enrich every aspect of university life.

Living at Lincoln College offers much more than just convenience – it is where friendships are made from day one. With over 200 students in residence across six buildings, you will quickly connect with others, whether they live in your corridor or elsewhere on campus.

Everyone is adjusting to university life and embracing new experiences, making it easy to connect and form friendships. No matter what year you are in or what you are studying; the supportive community at Lincoln helps you find your people and build lifelong friendships. At Lincoln College, you will truly find your place.
