University College (UniCol), founded in 1969, is the largest residential hall at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. It houses approximately 550 residents during the academic year. Originally consisting of two towers, North Tower and South Tower, it has since been expanded with the acquisition of a set of flats on Clyde street and then in 2004 with the Northern and Southern Annexes. It is one of the most central colleges on the campus, situated beside the university's original buildings. Historically, the South Tower housed males and the North Tower housed females, however both towers today are unisex, with students sharing all facilities including bathrooms and showers. Highlights throughout the year include orientation week, 'bak-2-skool' parties, formal dinners, ski trips, the ball, 'Bad Taste' parties, floor missions, and float parades.
