St Paul’s College sits amongst beautiful and extensive grounds and gardens at the heart of the University of Sydney. The neighbouring suburb of Newtown, with its bustling café, bar and restaurant scene, is a short walk from the College, as is Broadway shopping centre. Redfern railway station is just a few blocks away. Buses on City Road travel directly to Central railway station and the CBD with bus, rail and ferry connections to the airport, beaches and other Sydney attractions.
St Paul’s created a warm and welcoming atmosphere where I felt supported throughout my degree. As an interstate postgraduate student, Graduate House made the move from Western Australia much easier and provided me with the support network I needed to thrive in my postgraduate studies.
