Services

To help you focus on your studies, we’ve made sure that some of the hassles and interruptions of daily life have been left at home. Here at McGregor, we have a range of services on offer to you including:

Meals

During the weekdays there are two meal times per day – breakfast (where lunch can be collected) and dinner. On weekends and public holidays we offer lunch and a special, extended breakfast.

And if you’re fussy or have a special diet, don’t worry! Dietary requirements are catered for (e.g. halal) and we have engaged the services of a dietician to ensure the meals have good nutritional value. You can view a sample Residential Colleges menu (PDF 19 KB).

Linen

To save you a lot of time and disruptions, we’ll provide and launder your linen on a weekly basis.

Cleaning 

A professional cleaning service is provided to maintain common areas and bathroom facilities at no extra charge. However, residents are required to keep their own bedrooms clean. Access to vacuum cleaners can be arranged through the Collegiate Team. 

Security 

Making sure that you’re as safe as possible, a 24 hour security patrol regularly visits the McGregor Residential College.

Support 

Living with a bunch of friends, support is never far away. Our Collegiate staff and other senior residents provide a personal level of support, networking, advice and companionship that you would struggle to find anywhere else. Life skills workshops are arranged throughout the semester. You will also have the opportunity to join academic tutorial programs.

Organised social and sporting events

Some of your greatest college memories will be created during social or sporting events. Some of the events our residents look forward to each year include:

• Welcome and Inauguration Dinner
• Formal Dinner
• Inter-College Competitions (such as the Residential College Shield)
