Griffith University

I've met so many people and made so many new friends… College life so far, for me, has been terrific. I'm happier than I ever thought I would be. There are so many activities organised, so many new experiences, so many new people, so much work, so much fun." - Sanne Voogt

Located in Toohey Forest, the Colleges are surrounded by natural bushland and walking tracks. It’s a very scenic place to live, study and enjoy your time at Griffith.

There are a range of on-campus options to suit your needs, each offering benefits not available to students who live off- campus.

Convenience

Colleges provide the convenience of being close to your lectures, library, laboratories, and sport and recreation facilities. The Colleges are conveniently positioned on the Nathan and Mt Gravatt campuses – close to the Busway and city. South Bank campus is only 11 minutes away by bus!

The Colleges provide a safe and supportive environment in which to live and learn. College members have access to a wide range of support services coordinated by the college staff. Your room has telephone and data connections - offering free internal telephone calls to any of the University's six campuses and a network system available in the Colleges.

In addition to the many social and sporting activities held exclusively for College members, there are also gyms, and professional quality Tennis Centre (including a licensed café), clubs and on-campus activities such as Market Days.

College members are able to park on campus.

Academic support

Access to the library, lecturers and tutors is a short walk away and there are other people on College who are doing the same course as one another.  I have many group study sessions with my fellow peers, which has greatly assisted my learning throughout the two years I've been staying on campus." - Peter Nicholls

Staying on college has been the best thing for transition to university life. I think I would have struggled if I had lived anywhere else. I believe staying on college gives me a huge advantage over other students. - Morgan Weston
