The foundation stone of University Women's College (now known as University College) was laid in 1937 by Lady Huntingdon, wife of the Governor-General. The first wing of the college (Georgina Sweet Wing) was not completed when the college opened, but by the following year, with the opening of the Constance Ellis Wing in August 1938, the college had 42 students and 4 resident teachers.
The College also boasts two further buildings designed by renowned architect, Daryl Jackson, the Dr Greta Hort Memorial Library and the Head's Residence. Although originally a women's college, in 1975 the Council passed a minute giving the Principal the discretion to admit men, provided there were no suitable female applicants. Since that date, the College has grown as a place of living and learning for both men and women, while still maintaining a mission to ensure that women have every encouragement to reach their full personal and scholarly potential.
While primarily a College for undergraduate students, University College has always encouraged out-of-state resident and postgraduate enrollments.

WHITLEY COLLEGE
Ridley College was founded in 1910 and has had both university student residencies and theological courses since its inception. Ridley now attracts students from all over Australia and from a wide variety of international backgrounds. A boarding house, called "Norwood" (which can still be seen opposite Janet Clarke Hall) was rented and became a college with five students.
The College developed, however, and soon a property called "Kooringa" further down Sydney Road was purchased (now sadly demolished to make way for a motel) and the College was erected in what was expected to be its final site. . However, it continued to grow and the Kooringa had to be sold in order to move to a larger site where the College now stands at Walker Street and The Avenue. At first there was ample accommodation in the large house, "Cumnock," but as the College grew other buildings were erected.
In order to strengthen the traditional links between the College and Melboume University, an application for affiliation was made to the University Council in 1965. In 1972, Ridley became co-ed, the first university in the University of Melboume to do so.
