St Andrew's College, University of Sydney

St Andrew's College is a residential college for women and men within the University of Sydney, in the suburb of Newtown. Home to over 380 male and female undergraduate students, postgraduate students, resident Fellows and graduate residents. The College, governed by its own elected Council, is situated within the campus of the University of Sydney. Set in its own picturesque grounds, it has offered residency, academic and social support to students for 150 years. The College provides students with a combination of intellectual independence, academic support from the Residential Life team and personal development through involvement in Students’ Club activities such as a wide range of sporting, philanthropic and cultural activities and the gift of lifelong friendships. The St Andrew's College Incorporation Act received Royal Assent in 1867 in the 31st year of the reign of Queen Victoria and was only replaced by an updated Act as recently as 1998. 1867 is therefore the date taken as the College's foundation, and in 2017 the College celebrated its sesquicentenary as Australia's third oldest university college. In 1870 the College Council first met and in 1876 the students entered the grand sandstone Scottish baronial building now known as the Main Building. The College is a non-denominational independent institution of Protestant origins situated upon its own sub-grant of Crown Land and governed by a Council under the St Andrew's College Act 1998. Diversity of faith is genuinely welcome. The College is one of Australia's most prestigious and selective university colleges, producing many notable alumni in the fields of business, law and politics. Known as Androvians, alumni have taken on leading positions in both public and private sectors of Australia. Examples include but are not limited to: H. V. Bert (Doc) Evatt (President of the United Nations), Andrew Constance (Politician), Angus Taylor (Politician), Craig Blair (Founder, AirTree Ventures), James and Robbie Ferguson (Founder, Immutable X), John Bradfield (Architect of Sydney Harbour Bridge), Rohan Browning (Athlete) and more.
