Why
Albies?

More than a place to live ...
a place to grow.

At St Albert’s College, we offer more than just a room on campus — we offer a vibrant, values-led community where students are supported to grow academically, socially, personally and spiritually.

Here, students don’t just study — they thrive. With structured support, strong friendships and a packed calendar of events, Albies helps you find your feet, discover your strengths, and make the most of every moment at university.

A Community That Cares — And Celebrates

At Albies, you’ll be part of a close-knit, welcoming community where everyone is known by name. You’ll feel supported when things get tough — and celebrated when things go well. From our spirited traditions to casual nights with friends, there’s always something happening and someone to share it with.

Balance of Study and Fun

We take academic success seriously — but we also know that uni life is about making memories. Whether it’s a theme night in the dining hall, a spontaneous trip to the gorge, or cheering on your team in inter-college sport, Albies students know how to balance work and play.

Space to Grow

Leadership opportunities, creative outlets, team sports, and community service are all part of life at Albies. You’ll be encouraged to try new things, discover what you love, and develop confidence that will carry you far beyond your degree.

Grounded in Faith, Open to All

As the only Catholic university residential college in Northern NSW, Albies is founded on values of compassion, inclusion and service. We provide opportunities for spiritual growth and reflection, but students of all backgrounds are welcome here — and supported in being true to themselves.

A proud tradition.
A promising future.

Since 1969, Albies has been helping students find their place, their people and their purpose. It’s a place where you can be yourself, become your best self, and have a lot of fun along the way.
