Jack MorganYou can't go wrong choosing a hall. It's the best decision I've made so far! I really like that Bishop Julius is a small community, so you get to know everybody. It really does feel like a home away from home.

Sija Robertson-StoneI chose Bishop Julius Hall based on its relaxed community atmosphere, and the support they provide through academic tutorials. It was a choice well made.
The weekly tutorials helped me to excel and gain entry to the competitive second year law programme; I have had great experiences being involved in Hall events like the annual Ball, Fair Day, and inter-hall sports, and I have made great friends along the way.
If you want a supportive environment where academic success is celebrated, then Bishop Julius is for you.

Alex RossWith a caring and supportive atmosphere, before long you'll be calling Bish 'home'. It's just like having a mother at home to cook and clean for you but not tell you what to do.
With people always around to look out for you as you settle into Uni life it's like having a family of 107 brothers and sisters. There's always something on to get involved in, including Uni tutorials, sport and cultural
activities.

Tom LoganLiving at Bishop Julius made my first year at Canterbury University a time to remember. The small community creates a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where you make lasting friendships. I couldn't recommend Bishop Julius Hall more highly to prospective students; academic help is provided, the staff and services are first class, and the buildings withstand earthquakes! I'm thrilled to be part of the Bish community.

Jodi SummersI came to Christchurch not knowing anyone here. I was the only student fromj my small high school to come to Canterbury and I can tell you, onthe first day in the Hall I was more than a little nervous. But I quickly discovered that Bishop residents are some of the best people I could have hoped to have known. there are just so many friendly, inspiring people here! The Hall is very well run. Meals are (usually!) great. The rooms are sunny and there's plenty of room for my stuff.
