Come live at Salmond in 2021

If you are considering accommodation for 2021 the are some excellent reasons to select Salmond College. In 2019 every student who selected Salmond as their first choice college was offered a place, taking away the anxiety of being placed on a waitlist if they missed their first choice and 'seeing what happens'. Salmond is a warm, inviting, diverse  community. With 260 residents it is the perfect size to make friends, yet not be too large to overwhelm. Unlike many other colleges, Salmond College offers residents the opportunity to return for a second or third year, some in ensuite rooms or one of the larger 25 rooms throughout the college, providing ongoing support and a sense of home for more than just the first year for many residents. 

Salmond is focused on providing a home away from home where you will be known, cared for, supported and nurtured. Whatever your academic pursuit we welcome your application for 2021. Feel free to contact us to arrange a tour of the College at admin@salmondcollege.ac.nz . we look forward to meeting you!
