Unicol Halls of Residence

The Forth Street Mews complex consists of 68 rooms and provides an alternative insight into community life. Here, residents live in groups of five per flat. This arrangement is sometimes more suitable for students who are slightly older, having had a break between school and coming to University. Students in the Forth Street Mews are fully fledged members of the College community with access to all facilities.
All rooms in the Annexe have a connection port to the University's computer network. There is a small extra charge for this service. Rooms in the South Tower and the Mews are able to access the University of Otago wireless network and plans are underway to bring wireless access into the North Tower for the 2011 intake. Some rooms at UniCol have a telephone jack which can be activated for an additional fee.
Residents can personalise their room with items from home. Personal items could include a duvet and duvet cover, rugs, prints, plants, computer, stereo, television, photos, desk lamp, etc.
In order to comply with fire regulations, electrical appliances such as fridges, hair straighteners, irons, electric jugs and heaters are not permitted in study bedrooms. Cooking is also prohibited in study bedrooms.
