This Blog has been created to provide news on the New College Village. This new residential community at the University of New South Wales (Sydney) opened on January 5th 2009.
Now that all residents have arrived our program of social activities is being introduced. The aim of the various activities is to offer residents the opportunity to meet with one another and form relationships that will enrich their lives. Our 316 residents come from over 50 nations and bring a vast array of lived experiences. Living at the NCV is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be among a diverse, interesting and very talented group of people. Our first BBQ for the year was run on the 27th February and attracted 250 residents. The plan is to have a BBQ for all residents every 4-6 weeks. They are held in the Central Courtyard and Main Common Room. If our first BBQ is any indication these events will be great times to meet and catch up with others.
