Bruce Hall provides a comprehensive support network, including the Head, Dean of Residents, Sub-Deans and Resident Tutors. Tutorial rooms are also available.

music

Bruce Hall provides facilities for music practice and also for performance of music. There are several piano’s and soundproofed music rooms. We also have an art studio and dark room.

washer

Bruce Hall has laundry and dryer rooms, these are available to all students and cost is included in the weekly tariff. Residents need to provide their own laundry detergent.

car

A University parking permit must be purchased before you are issued with a Resident parking permit which will allow you to park in Bruce Hall designated areas. Canberra's network of bike paths and public transport is quite good, so we encourage residents to save money and not bring a car.

rubbish

Residents rooms are cleaned once a week (catered rooms only) by the Hall's housekeeping staff. Communal bathrooms are cleaned daily. Vacuum cleaners may be borrowed from the Hall if necessary. Bruce Hall has regular room inspections in the self-catered wing (Packard)

smoke

Smoking is prohibited in all University buildings . Designated smoking areas are located outside and away from all buildings.

disability

There are a small number of rooms available for students with physical disabilities. Please contact the Hall to discuss your needs.

To me, the most impressive aspect of life in Bruce Hall is the initiative and responsibility students take for promoting vigour and quality of community life and the care they exercise for each other.
