Facilities
Places to Play!
We know there is more to a balanced life than studying and sleeping - you have to have plenty of places to have fun as well! In this regard our facilities are second to none...check em out:
Sport Court
Cumby boasts the only fully lit Astro-turf sport court with full size tennis court at Otago. But it's not confined to just tennis - we have facilities and equipment for soccer, netball, basketball, cricket, dodgeball...the list goes on and on. We even have puppies you can play with here!
The sport court is the site of many a Cumby victory over other colleges in our many sports exchanges and the place where the annual staff vs residents netball game takes place.
Common Spaces
Sometimes you just a space to sit and chat with friends or have a coffee. Cumby has a number of spaces for this, the most prominent being our relaxed and comfy dining room (with the drinks machine available all day!). We also have our formal common room, the Green Room, with it's leather couches and gas fire opening out onto the beautiful private garden with it's external gas fire and BBQ. The perfect spot to sit and read the paper, a book, chat to some friends or have a group meeting.
University of Otago wireless internet access is installed throughout Cumberland College common areas and in every Cumby corridor!
TV and Cinema Rooms
We don't believe in watching TV or movies on silly little TV's - that's why none of our TV's is under 40inches! The Castle and Cumberland Lounges are the perfect place to sit back and watch a movie or Sky Digital on the huge flat screens or in the Castle Lounge you can watch the All Blacks play on the absolutely massive projector screen.
We also have 3 smaller 'Mini-Cinema' Rooms with huge flat screens and X-Boxes for all your movie watching and gaming needs.
Cumberland Lawn
Even though we are smack bang in the middle of Dunedin we can still boast a wonderful set of grounds. Great on a sunny day for relaxing or throwing around a ball!
Music Room
Like to tickle the ivories or strum a tune? Our music room is the perfect place to keep that practice up or learn something musical!
