Bring your platform boots

As soon as I moved from the suburbs into the city a few years ago, I became obsessed with the Auckland queer scene and all the incredible drag kings and queens that you can find here. I was so obsessed, in fact, that I recently began my own drag journey, debuting my drag king persona, Bacchus, at the Ding Dong Lounge last September. To me, these red, sparkly boots represent my evolution as a person and how I have finally become the glittery, gothic drag king that my sad, closeted high school self always wanted to be. Living in University Accommodation has given me both the freedom and the confidence to be able to live and perform as Bacchus, the best and most glamorous version of myself.

Part of Carlaw Park Student Village, Stuart McCutcheon House (SMH) is the perfect place for those who want to go flatting without the arduous commute to class. Located right next to the Recreation Centre, Auckland Domain, and Parnell train station, SMH is the ideal residence for groups to make the most of their University years. SMH offers three- to six-bedroom flats, large communal areas, sports courts, music rooms, and much more. 

SMH is open to all University students in their second year or above of study.
