Aquinas College, Otago

Welcome to Aquinas College, Otago! Located in the heart of Dunedin on Gladstone Road, our institution is an establishment, point of interest, and school that offers an exceptional experience for students.

At Aquinas College, we pride ourselves on providing a vibrant, friendly, and fun environment where you can live and learn. Whether you're transitioning from teenage life to independence or looking for a supportive community during your university studies, Aquinas College is the perfect place to call home.

One of the highlights of our college is the unbeatable balance we offer between study, community, and lifestyle. Not only will you have the opportunity to make new friends, but you'll also be able to take part in a wide range of social, cultural, and sports events. There truly is something for everyone to complement your studies and make your time at Aquinas College unforgettable.

We understand the importance of comfort during your stay, which is why we have designed our facilities to make your experience as comfortable as possible. However, please note that during 2022, we will be undergoing building works. Our dedicated building contractors will be working on the east side of the building, specifically in the area of the current gym. Although Aquinas 2022 residents will still enjoy the full collegiate experience, additional noise on-site can be expected.

But don't just take our word for it! Here's what some of our current and past residents have to say about their experience at Aquinas College:
