Welcome from Head of College

Welcome to the Basser College website! Its purpose is to introduce you to the College and help you decide whether this is a place you might like to live while you study at the University of New South Wales.

Basser College was the first residential college to be established on this campus. For almost fifty years young men and women from all over Australia and other parts of the world have made it their home away from home at UNSW. The College has provided them with both a convenient place to study and a supportive community as they made the transition form school to university, from home to independent living. The current residents love being here, and alumni frequently say that their years at Baser were among the best in their lives.

This positive assessment is hardly surprising. Basser College is committed to providing an outstanding experience of student life at UNSW. The administrative and academic staff work very hard each year to create a comfortable, enjoyable and enriching environment for residents. The students themselves run the residential program under my supervision, so that there is wide scope for gaining experience in leadership and management, and also for rising to the responsibilities of self-determination. The result is a setting that fosters the academic, cultural, social and physical development of the students who live here.

Enquiries and applications are welcome!
