Hi! I’m an international student joining UniMelb in 2026 (July intake) and I’ve almost finalized accommodation at International House.

After reading more about colleges like Ormond, Trinity and Queen’s, I’m curious how different the social life/community actually is between them and IH.

Are the bigger colleges genuinely much more social/party-oriented, or is that mostly just their online image? I’d also love to know whether bigger colleges actually make it easier to meet more people and make friends.

Would really appreciate honest opinions from current/recent students :)
