University College was renovated between 2007 and 2008 to include a new recreation complex with indoor sporting and other facilities including a design studio, TV room, gym, band room and a spacious multi-purpose area with billiard and table tennis tables.
The college underwent another redevelopment in 2019, the major feature being 190 modern, en-suite student rooms with double beds.

The unofficial slogan embodied by University College students is love, passion and die-hard spirit.
The college endeavors to create a networked and united student cohort and achieves this post-university study through hosting regular Alumni events.
