New College is a fully-catered residential college that is home to 247 full-time undergraduate students of The University of New South Wales, including UNSW Art & Design. As a not-for-profit, New College seeks to offer an affordable experience without compromising on quality.  

So I have really valued the tutoring system here. More so than actually sitting down and editing - though that’s…helped with assignments - I think the greatest thing I’ve got from my tutor was just the casual conversation about the course, about life after uni, and about handling stress.

During my stay at New College, I’ve learnt a lot of culture from Australia, and I also learnt a lot of slang. While I am away from my home, New College made me feel like I have a second home in Australia.

As a first-year, it’s a big responsibility to take up to produce a production that has over 50 people in it, but it’s one of the best experiences I’ve ever had of leadership and responsibility, and the fact that college provides these opportunities for first years I think is really great.
