Welcome to Lincoln College, a home away from home for over 226 students from around the world.

Superbly located in historic North Adelaide, Lincoln College provides welcoming, friendly and safe accommodation for male and female students attending university in Adelaide. The majority of our students are studying at the University of Adelaide, University of South Australia, and Flinders University. We also welcome students from TAFE, Regency College, Bradford College, SAIBT, Endeavour College, Carnegie Mellon and other certified tertiary courses in South Australia.


Lincoln is a multi-faith, multicultural community that since 1952 has been providing a caring and supportive environment for students who live away from their homes during their tertiary studies. We foster independence, inclusion and diversity.


Lincoln embraces an informal, culturally diverse and welcoming atmosphere and is committed to helping our residents achieve their personal best in all aspects of their academic, cultural, spiritual and sporting life.  Our residents quickly come to view Lincoln as a place of friendship and support, and stay in touch for years to come. If you want more than just a room and board apply to Lincoln – where you also get friendship, support, academic assistance, meals 7 days a week, facilities and events!

Applications for Semester 2 open now and applications for 2014 open from 1 July.
