St. George's College is the oldest residential College within The University of Western Australia and is affiliated with the Anglican Diocese of Perth. Our first students came in 1931 which was the same year the University moved from its old buildings in Irwin Street, Perth, to the new Hackett buildings on the site in Crawley.

The original building with its Neo Gothic style of architecture and its formal gardens is a local landmark. The College grounds are entered in the Register of the National Estate by the Australian Heritage Commission.

The College offers single accommodation and three meals a day to 175 male and female students who have been accepted and are enrolled at The University of Western Australia. Students studying at other universities will be considered after all UWA applicants have been placed.

Members of the College are welcomed into the life of the community and find themselves part of a rich heritage with unique traditions. As a part of this College they are expected to live in such a way that the educational and social needs of the whole community are upheld. The College aims to provide an environment that is conducive to study and the education of the whole person. On-site tutors offer College residents a significant additional resource for their academic life.

Living within a college community helps students adjust to the rigors and requirements of university life within a caring and supportive environment. During this time students make lifelong friendships with others from a diverse range of disciplines and professions. It is hoped that the College will offer students a highlight in their life, remembered as a time of growth and where dreams were transformed into realities.

As a member of the College community students have access to facilities which include common rooms, tennis/half basketball court, BBQ area, library, dining hall, TV room, college canteen, laundry, 24 hour computer room and chapel. Student rooms are equipped with a telephone and internet access, some have ensuites and some are air-conditioned.
