About Dunmore Lang College
Established in 1972, the College provides a safe and supportive community for both undergraduate and postgraduate Macquarie University students in a variety of accommodation styles.
Dunmore Lang College is a not-for-profit Residential College driven by the belief that enabling access to university study changes not only students’ lives but also their families and wider communities. By undertaking university study, students open up new pathways and opportunities for their futures as well as becoming role models for others to follow.

A Place For Everyone
Dunmore Lang College brings together students from different backgrounds, cultures and walks of life. What makes our community special is the opportunity to learn from one another, share experiences and feel at home, whatever your story.
A community from all corners of Australia
Many students come to DLC from rural and regional areas, often moving away from home for the first time. We’re proud to bring together students from across Australia and create a community where they can settle in, build friendships and feel at home.
Celebrating culture and identity
We value the cultures, knowledge and experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and recognise the importance of creating a culturally safe and respectful community where everyone feels they belong.
Connection, acceptance and belonging
We want every student to feel comfortable being themselves. Our Queer & Allies group provides opportunities to connect, build friendships and celebrate LGBTQIA+ identities as part of our wider College community.
Space to feel comfortable and supported
Everyone experiences College life differently. We recognise and value different ways of thinking, learning and engaging. Our Recharge Room offers a quieter space for students to take a break, reset and step away from the busyness of College life.
