Hi and welcome to Farrer Hall. We are so excited to have you joining us and look forward to seeing you at our events throughout the year. We have created an awesome environment to be a part of and can't wait for you to experience it for yourself. Be sure to speak to your RA and keep an eye and ear out for announcements on our social media platforms.
Farrer Hall was opened in 1965. There are two buildings at Farrer - "South" and "North"
Our mascot is Frederick the Ferret. The hall's colours are green and black.
Our hall motto is "No Ferret Left Behind". This signifies our halls values to be centered around inclusiveness, respect for each other and progressiveness in order to allow us to be the best we can be.
