Is there a curfew? No. You have your own key so you come & go as you please. Are guys allowed to stay over? Yes. There is a guest policy, but you can book in friends and family of either gender to come and stay with you for a few nights.
What’s good about a single sex College: Most of our residents & ex-residents say it’s more relaxed than a mixed environment. You can have guys over, and you meet heaps at Uni & inter-college functions, but you can also come home and lounge about in your PJs or walk to the shower in your towel. St Cats really is the place to be for fun, friends and excitement. The activities and courses run by the College focus on the needs and interests of women in particular and are designed to help you achieve your goals whilst enjoying yourself along the way. St Cats is your place at your pace.
How many women live at St Cats: 160 women from country and city WA + 16 different countries
