Being the first college at the Southern entrance to UNE, off Queen Elizabeth Drive, we are easy to find and sit amidst a grove of wonderful Australian Gums.
Common rooms and study rooms are well furnished with the dining hall, Learning Centre and Music Room offering a quiet alternative to the college living space.

Robb has a proud heritage that spans more than 50 years, and a College spirit that is highly prized. Its residents are attracted from both city and country regions and study across all faculties and disciplines of the University. The rural ethos of character, strength and integrity is upheld at Robb, and many opportunities for contribution and leadership exist. A vigorous student life with many sporting and social opportunities include a chance for overseas touring with the Rugby Club.

Cultural offerings include a biannual musical, Art Exhibition show, formal dinners and the Rural Lecture Series. Academic and personal assistance is available from a team of Resident Tutors who live in the College and are selected for approachability as well as academic excellence.

Founded in 1960, Robb College is named after the first Registrar of the University of New England, Mr William Menzies Robb. Originally established as a men’s college, female students were accepted from 1977. The College is non-denominational.
