Belong here

Thrive here

Newly renovated rooms make our college accommodation extra comfortable and homely.

Each room is fitted with the essentials: a desk, chair, bed, wardrobe and storage space – you simply need to bring along your own linen. Fill your space with photos, personal items and all your beloved knick-knacks, and you’ll feel right at home! All students also have access to a fridge that they share with no more than one other person – perfect for storing your preferred late-night snack!

Settling in

We know first days can be daunting, so to kick off your time here at Hilda’s all first-year students take part in our Orientation Week. Starting with Welcome Saturday, you’ll enjoy a week full of fun and support that will help you to meet new people and learn your way around while you settle into uni life away from home.

With the support of senior students and resident advisors, we’re there every step of the way. We’ll help you move in on your first day, even helping you get your boxes to your new room! You’ll also have Block Suppers throughout the semester to help you get to know everyone!

Welcome week

Our Orientation Week is called Welcome Week and is designed to be inclusive and life-affirming with a strong sense of student safety and belonging. We make sure you and your family feel supported as you move into our community by running a program that not only provides you with lots of opportunities to meet people and get to know your way around, but to also become familiar with the academic and administrative requirements of University – we’ll even help you review your academic program!

Orientation happens at a point in time, whereas transition is more of an adjustment period. That’s why we will make sure that Welcome Week is just the start of the support for you here at Hilda’s.
