Arcady Hall is an independent, small hall in Ilam, servicing students studying at the University of
Canterbury. We have 170 students staying with us each year, including a team of 7 Residential
Assistants. We are based in the UC accommodation residential village, a short 7-minute walk from
the main teaching campus.
 

We provide a range of activities and events throughout the year, great meals, themed dinners, a
strong pastoral focus, and a lot of fun along the way.
