Roll up, roll up!

This year, Welcome Saturday took place on 18 February, with 247 new students joining us for 2023. We experienced unprecedented demand over the application period, and as we were not ultimately able to accommodate everyone, we were required to launch a waitlist for college places in semester 2.

The new arrivals were welcomed by 56 enthusiastic O-Week leaders, who had been working hard to develop an entertaining week for new students, helping them settle in from the get go.

In keeping with this idea, the College made the difficult call to once again ask parents to drop students off at the door, in order to streamline their transition to college life. Parents were encouraged to come along at a later date, or join our Family Reception later in the year.

We welcome everyone who joined us at UC in 2023 – we look forward to having you as part of our lively community.
