Student Life

Mates and memories to last a lifetime

John XXIII College is a place where residents get a total university experience and become a part of a vibrant social community and make friends for life.

It’s a place where students feel at home as a part of the prestigious academic community at the ANU; with opportunities to mingle with professors and lecturers outside of study. We support our students in their academic endeavours offering tutorials and study help. We’re also big on getting involved in campus life, from sports to theatre and all that lies in between. No matter what your interests are John XXIII College can cater to your tastes and help you have an amazing and fulfilling residential tertiary experience.

OPPORTUNITES

  • Social

    We’re all about getting involved in life beyond your degree, formal dinners, trivia nights, music in the courtyard, inter-corridor events, balls and so much more. J23 will help you maintain that work-life balance while making friends for life.

  • Sport

    Got a competitive side? We’ve got you covered with the Inter-Hall Sports Shield (which we’ve won 19 times in the last 20 years). But winning isn’t everything with teams for all genders, abilities and commitment levels. 


    Sport at Johns is huge and we don't just compete in the ANU competition as a College we engage in sporting tours both interstate and internationally.


    In 2023 the College will be touring New Zealand competing in mens rugby, womens touch football, netball and mens and womens soccer.
