You might have considered private rentals, student apartments, or living with family, but have you thought about moving into a Residential College? Residential Colleges offer a high-quality, safe environment that is culturally diverse, inclusive, and welcoming. College provides the opportunity for personal and professional development while supporting your transition from secondary to tertiary studies through extensive academic support. Residents are also offered a wealth of social, community, sporting, and cultural activities.

The Residential Colleges in North Adelaide have been part of the Adelaide student accommodation scene for almost a century and are all unique in their own ways.  Originally associated solely with the University of Adelaide, when it was the only University in the State, Colleges have expanded their reach to now be home to a mix of students from higher education institutions across Adelaide.

Living in a Residential College

– truly is a fantastic way to get the most from your
university experience.

Enter Lincoln College.. but what exactly is a residential college?

A residential college is a student accommodation community that is close to the main Adelaide CBD University Campuses and key public transport routes for access to Flinders University Bedford Park Campus. This makes going to uni lectures and tutorials super convenient and takes the stress out of commuting (plus you don’t waste any precious study or socializing time!).

At a residential college, students generally live in ‘corridors’ of individual rooms with shared bathrooms and laundry facilities. This means you get your personal space (at Lincoln your room includes a king single bed, desk, desk chair, small refrigerator, and wardrobe), but always have friends nearby. As you move through the year, you will find your friendly corridor neighbors become like family. Your room, your way – you can bring all your personality and comforts to your space, and have an amazing time doing it! Check out how our students have made their rooms their own for some inspo.

Lincoln College residents come from all over Australia and the world. All residents who live at Lincoln become a part of a fun and supportive community. Each year, our community comprises a diverse range of people from all backgrounds and origins including regional and rural home students, international students, indigenous students, those studying at Tafe, Uni or other tertiary institution, metropolitan students, those who are neuro-divergent, and members of the LGBTQI+ community. As well as students who are out of home for the first time, or those who have experience boarding or homestay arrangements before. Our diversity brings richness to our community – everyone can find their place at Lincoln College.

You’ll instantly be surrounded by ready-made friends

Living at Lincoln College offers far more than just convenience. Many residents say the best thing about living at Lincoln is the people you meet and the friends you make – including those who live in your corridor and the wider campus community.

Remember, when you arrive to move in, EVERYONE is in the same boat – transitioning to this next exciting phase of adulthood, starting university, potentially living out of home for the first time, or leaving the constraints of a highly regulated boarding school environment, and most of you are keen to socialize and try new things. With so much in common from the start, making friends is a breeze.

Lincoln College accommodates around 200 students residents across our 6 buildings on campus. Here it doesn’t matter what year you are in or what might be studying, our residents are always eager to get to know each other and become an incredible support network.

Former Residents of Lincoln often say they ‘found their people’ at college – the ones who share their interests and passions and become lifelong friends. You can truly find your place at Lincoln College – check out some Lincolnite Memories shared with us here

You don’t have to cook!

At Lincoln, our students get three meals a day, seven days a week prepared fresh by our talented kitchen staff. See more about our facilities here.

What about cleaning? Your room is cleaned once a week by our professional cleaners – they will

vacuum, empty bins, dust, and clean mirrors. They will also clean all common areas.

Laundry is up to you, but we have 24-hour laundry facilities on site that are included in fees.

You get to have a blast at Welcome Week

You’ve probably heard of O-Week, and this is where your new friendships will start.

Led by an elected group of senior, returning residents (College Club and Residential Advisors), new residents go through Welcome Week together, taking part in daily activities and events before the university semester begins.

For Welcome Week, Lincolnites have an absolute blast at our annual Barnyard and Glow Party Events, as well as beach trips, café crawls, Stag Expo (where you can sign up for clubs and sports) and you will master every single word to your “fresher song”.

Universities also run an Orientation Week, where you can join a range of university-led activities too, and you can lean on senior residents for support and advice about your new Uni Campus.

You receive plenty of support while Studying.

Not all colleges are created equal, here at Lincoln College, we provide a high level of care to our residents. That’s because we know studying at a tertiary level and living away from home can be stressful.

To help support our students, we have a dedicated Dean of Studies and Academic Team focused on keeping our thriving and supported, even during the most stressful period of the semester (we’re looking at you exams…).

Our academic program doesn’t just include subject tutorials to complement your university education, but we also help connect students with expert alumni, for instance through our ‘fireside chats’, and seminars on various topics throughout the semester. Overall, the program helps students transition from the very different learning environment of high school to university.

To genuinely succeed, balance in life is a must. Or Dean of Students, Dr. Jordan Bell, is not only a qualified Psychologist but has been with Lincoln College for over 15 years, supporting students and their families. Learn more about our Wellness Support.
