University College (University of Melbourne)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

University College is a residential college which is affiliated to the University of Melbourne in Australia. It was formerly known as University Women's College. The college is situated in the suburb of Parkville.

It is located on its own plot of land, north of Ormond College and is bounded by the College Crescent to the southeast, Royal Parade to the west and Cemetery Road West to the northeast.

The College houses 198 students each year, from the University of Melbourne, RMIT, Australian Catholic University, Monash University (Pharmacy) and the Victorian College of the Arts.

Its colours (such as worn on the sporting field) are maroon, pale blue and black. The boar is its mascot. Its motto is "Frappe Fort", which is Latin for "Strike Hard".

It was created by a Statute of the University of Melbourne in 1937 to be an affiliated college of the university for women. [1]
