Parent and Student Testimonials
Choosing to send my two daughters to Austin Page Residential College at UNE in Armidale has been one of the best decisions I've made for their personal and academic growth. The college's supportive environment and close-knit community has provided them with a home away from home, where they've not only thrived academically but also developed into confident, independent young women.
Jason, Father of two residentsAustin Page College has changed my life in more ways than I can begin to describe, it has given me friendships, life skills, leadership skills and has allowed me to fully immerse myself in my Bachelor of Education (K-12) degree.
Ella O'Dywer - Bachelor of Education (K-12)When I first arrived at Austin Page College, I was terrified about whether I’d fit in or not. I’d arrived two weeks after everyone else did and I had no idea what to expect. I walked into the office and was met with friendly smiles and people waving at me. I’ve never felt as welcome as I did that day. Since then, Austin Page has shown me what real community looks like. From studying in the dining hall on our study nights to doing arts and crafts with our friends, Austin Page is a place that accepts everybody and introduces a community - a family - that will always be there for you.
