The largest of The Kensington Colleges, Baxter was established in 1966 and is named after the first Vice-Chancellor of UNSW, Philip Baxter. Diversity is at the heart of the College and the layout promotes residents to form close-knit relationships within their floor and the rest of the College. On the sporting field, Baxter has proven to be a formidable force and many an inter-college rivalry has formed! From Baxter Under the Stars - a variety show - to the Baxter Play, a Hunter Valley winery tour, a huge variety of non-competitive activities and the annual Baxter Ball... life is never dull! Sport is also a massive part of life at the College and in 2017, Baxter held both the female Inter-College Sports Shield, and came 2nd in the male Inter-College Sports Shield.
