About King's College
King's College provides accommodation for 324 men of the University. The College operates as an academic residential community of undergraduate and postgraduate members drawn from country and suburban areas throughout Australia as well as many other nations.
King's has a well-equipped gymnasium (including weights room and a cardio room), swimming pool, rowing shed and pontoon, tutorial/study rooms, Old Collegians Learning Centre, barbecue facilities, half basketball court and extensive well lit car-parks. The Junior Common Room is equipped with satellite television, billiard table and table tennis table.
St. Johns College is a coeducational residential college on the St Lucia Campus. St John's is the equal oldest college in affiliation with the University. The college was founded in 1911 – the same year the University of Queensland accepted its first students – and is currently home to approximately 320 students (Colloquially known as 'Johnians' or 'Jabbers').
Facilities include the Stanley Law Library, the general library, the Gibson Room for biomedical studies (anatomy and histology, speech therapy and physiotherapy). In the gymnasium there is also a squash court, weights room, and sauna, as well was pool and pingpong tables. All undergraduate students also have access to the Junior Common Room. St. Johns College Buttery Bar is at the heart of the college's strong social atmosphere. St. John's College is the only college with a licensed bar at the University of Queensland.
The College has a strong sporting tradition. It is the current ICC Weighted Sporting Shields Champions in both the men and women competitions. In 1996 it became the first College at the University of Queensland to win both the men's and women's Inter-Collegiate competitions in the same year. In 2013 St. Johns College won both the male and female overall weighted sporting trophies. Since the inception of the ICC Competition, St. John's College has won the Old Collegians Cup and the ICC Cultural Cup more times than any other college.
Music and drama are particularly strong at the College. There are seven pianos in the College and there are four specially built music practice rooms. A two manual and pedal pipe organ was completed in the college chapel in 1994. The choir performs at College functions and in the intercollegiate choral festival. Students from St John's and Women's College perform in the College Players who stage up to two major productions each year. Choral Scholarships are offered by the college. Debating and public speaking are also features of the cultural life.
In 2005, a building, known as Edale by the students, was burned down in a fire apparently caused by unattended electrical devices left on by a student over the Easter break. The college provided portable buildings to house students from the affected building, and has since completed rebuilding.
