Better academic performance

Higher engagement with studies results in better academic outcomes. Living in College with other students increases engagement and makes committing to study just that little bit easier. Students at Dunmore Lang College have consistently performed above the Macquarie University average for many years.

"I have lived at Dunmore Lang College for two years and have made many friends. During this time, the College supported me and the needs of the community providing everything we need including pastoral care and academic support. The College has worked hard to make it possible for us to stay safe, continue studying, and enjoy some great social events in a COVID safe way."

- Bailey Beattie, 2nd Year Student, Broken Hill.
