A well rounded life at Bish
At Bish we provide a structured environment for you to obtain the best academic results, and give you the opportunity for social, sporting and cultural activities.
It gives you an environment that will encourage you to achieve your best during your first years at university, and establish you in friendships that may well last a lifetime. We have students from all faculties at UC giving us great cross section of students.
We are a diverse community of people from around New Zealand as well as other countries. We have a high ratio of Welfare staff to students and pastoral care is a high priority for those who need assistance and guidance at some stage. You will get to know the welfare staff and they are there to help.
The hall is a vibrant cultural, social, and sporting community which complements academic life and gives you a wonderful experience of living as an individual among a caring group of people. We have an annual ball, term dinners including mid winters and valedictory dinners, and themed parties. We take part in the inter hall sporting and cultural events organised annually by the university and the halls. If you are musical, sporty or like drama then this is the place for you.
