Fun, convenience and friendship

These are reasons often given by students who live in a university residence. Of these, supportive student friendship is the most prevalent and this is Burgmann’s main focus. Add in excellent pastoral care, academic assistance, leadership opportunities, great IT facilities, on-site residential staff and an inclusive environment and you are describing Burgmann College.

Burgmann also has an indefinable quality of spirit. It has to do with the loyalty, support and the broad goodwill among our residents which create lifelong friendships. Indeed, the College goes out of its way to help residents make the most of their time at university and to build a strong platform for life after graduation.

As an affiliated College, we take pride in our independence and our commitment to partnering with the ANU, Australia’s National University.

As an international student who came to a foreign country, I knew nobody here and had no friends or family to rely on for support. It sounds almost incredulous to say, but it took me less than a day of living at Burgmann to forge friendships that I am sure will endure for years to come.

College events bring everyone together, and culture and socialisation are at an all time high on campus! It quickly becomes more than just a place of residence; it becomes a place you can happily call home.
