Welcome to City College
City College is the newest residential college on the Otago campus, we accept students from the two Dunedin tertiary institutions (The University of Otago and Otago Polytechnic) in representative numbers and we are the only fully catered Otago College where residents live in apartment groups.
The Mayor of Dunedin officially opened the College on March 25th, 2000; the new buildings and facilities are first-class. Our primary purpose is to provide accommodation, which supports residents learning goals, but we also take the time to have some fun together. Social events occur throughout the year.
The mix of students provides a diverse and enriching life experience for all residents and apartment living gives students an introduction to flatting in a controlled environment.
The facilities at City College are very modern; the computer lab is networked to Otago University making the university network available to all City College students. Many bedrooms have live computer ports for the use of personal computers.
The landscaped internal courtyards provide sheltered and private outdoor living spaces.
The College exists for its residents and their welfare is our main concern.
We aim to provide a warm and supportive environment, academic help, companionship,
cultural, musical, sporting and social opportunities. Our goal is to provide
an atmosphere, which facilitates learning and social development and includes
having good fun.
The Name City College was chosen to reflect the involvement of the Dunedin City Council, and the three institutions involved. Each Block of the College has been named for the owners of the Original Crown Land Grants of Block 34 North Dunedin in 1858.
