We attract residents of all denominations who want to succeed in academic studies while meeting friends through social, sporting and cultural activities. With only 133 students and a caring office team, Shalom residents enjoy a supportive cohort and ‘home away from home’ while living on UNSW’s Kensington campus. As well as our office staff, six resident advisors and four residential academic tutors means you can find support without leaving the college.
