Barkley Hall is the Student Residence of the Reformed Theological College (RTC). We are situated on about 20 acres of semi-rural land besides Deakin University (Waurn Ponds Campus). The residence is named in honour of Prof Alexander Barkley, the founding Principal of the RTC.We offer accommodation to RTC students and other tertiary students studying in Geelong. A range of options are available - standard rooms, large rooms and ensuites. Allocation of rooms is usually made on a "first-come" basis.
Barkley Hall strongly adheres to a Biblical standard of behaviour in areas of life, including the segregation of residents' bedrooms on the basis of gender. Our Resident Supervisors live on-site and are available at all times to provide assistance.
Weekday evening meals are included in the monthly accommodation fees. They are held in the College Dining Room at 6.30pm. Meals commence with a short devotion led by residents or staff members. We strongly encourage all residents to attend in order to foster and maintain the community spirit of Barkley Hall. Breakfast (self-service) is available every day from the Residence Kitchens.
All rooms are fully furnished. The Residence Kitchens contain stoves, microwave ovens, refrigerators, toasters, kettles, etc. Residents are required to provide their own crockery, cutlery and utensils for use in these kitchens (not required for meals held in the College Dining Room).

Applications for admission to Barkley Hall require a completed Declaration Form.
