College 1 is guided by two core values: building a culture of community contribution and promoting student well-being. True to our motto, “Home Away from Home,” we strive to create a nurturing and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered.  

We embrace a diverse community of local, international, and exchange students, united by the belief that each resident has unique strengths to share and opportunities to learn. Our philosophy emphasizes active community engagement aligned with sustainability goals and a holistic approach to wellbeing, addressing social, emotional, spiritual, physical, cognitive, and financial dimensions. Leadership development is integral to the College experience, with numerous opportunities for students to lead initiatives, collaborate, and grow. Supported by dedicated faculty and staff, College 1 is more than just a place to live and learn; it is a vibrant home that fosters personal and collective growth.
