Forming the person, transforming the world
At the heart of RMC is a commitment to holistic education that welcomes all students, fostering their academic, social, and spiritual growth. More than just on-campus student accommodation at Macquarie University, we provide an enriching, close-knit community on campus, designed to help you thrive.
Whether you’re joining us locally or from overseas, RMC has offered a unique college experience since 1973, combining academic excellence with the warmth of a vibrant community.
While rooted in the Anglican tradition, we warmly welcome students of all faiths and of no faith. Our core values—community, respect, and integrity—guide us in creating an inclusive environment where students build lifelong friendships, gain valuable skills, and feel supported by staff and peers.
More than just student accommodation, RMC has been a ‘home away from home’ for students at Macquarie University for over 50 years. With a welcoming mix of Australian and international students, RMC provides a culturally diverse and inclusive environment where everyone can feel at home and build lifelong connections.

When I first arrived at RMC, I didn’t know anyone, but now I’ve found lifelong friends. Living at college isn’t just about having a place to stay - it’s about being part of a supportive community. For me, RMC has truly felt like home.

I love the community. We eat together in the Dining Hall, we get to hang out and there are so many events. Its a great place to live as a student - a stepping stone from moving out of home. You have support from staff who live on site and support from the university just next door.

Before RMC, my grades were mainly passes and credits with some distinctions, but afterwards, they have shot up to credits and distinctions. I believe this is because of the culture at RMC of putting our studies first.

I chose to live at RMC as I knew no one coming to Macquarie Uni, I can successfully say I feel a sense of belonging here and have many friends who I believe I will maintain lifelong friendships with.
