What is a Residential College?
A good way to think of a residential college is as something between a
dorm and a fraternity or sorority, with an added tutoring and mentoring
program. There is a strong sense of community at
college and students participate in many social, sporting and academic
activities. Some study abroad students arrive expecting to live in a dorm and spend all their weekends and
breaks travelling around Australia, but soon find that the activities and community that Trinity provides leaves very little time for travel during term time.
Student Rooms
Every
student has their own fully furnished single room, equipped with
internet access and a phone line. There is also a computer room
available to students containing PCs, Macs, a scanner, printer, fax
and photocopier.
Bed linen including a pillow and comforter are provided. Free washing machines and dryers are available in each building.
Breakfast and dinner every day and three meals on weekends is
included in your college fees. The dining hall is open for weekday lunches and provides very inexpensive meals.
Australian
power runs at 230 volts. Plugs have two or three flat prongs. Overseas studetns will
need an adapter to convert the plug to the right number of
prongs. You can get one here at a shop near the university. Most
computers will not need anything to convert the voltage. Other
electrical equipment should be kept to a minimum.
