King’s College

One of a number of residential colleges available near the University of Queensland St Lucia Campus, King’s college is alright. Mainly because it has a pool. Being female, I did not actually go to this all boy’s college but I did date a guy from here for a while and spent enough nights sleeping over that the security guard started to know me. King’s boys get a bit of a bad wrap around the uni, mainly for being a bunch of rowdy lads. They certainly are that but there are also plenty of nice guys there.
The rooms at King’s are ok and range from a small little room with nothing but a single bed, desk and wardrobe to ones that have en-​suites and can fit double beds. The buildings are all pretty tall and nice. This one time a friend of mine had had a few too many beverages and decided to climb the building spiderman style. He fell from the second story into the concrete car park. Luckily he had no more than a few scratches that I helped patch up with a bandage or two. Oh the good old days. College is not college without some crazy stories.
Overall, the time spent at King’s was pretty relaxed, especially when we were just chilling in the pool or walking along the river. The College is right on the Brisbane River, a short walk from the university and an even shorter walk from Hawken Village shops. I have all too many memories of this place but you haven’t experienced college properly if you leave without a single story.
