Established in 1961, Bruce Hall is the Australian National University's first undergraduate residential college in Canberra, Australia. Located in Acton, the Hall prides itself in its rich history and vibrant culture.
Bruce Hall has its own charter, coat of arms and motto 'Felix Qui Potuit Rerum Cognoscere Causas' - which translates to 'Happy is the person able to discover the reason for things.'
This suggests one of the great traditions of Bruce Hall: that its residents strive for academic excellence and share a thirst for knowledge and understanding across disciplines and beyond their own subject areas.
There is also a tradition of striving for excellence in sports and the arts, and for encouraging each resident to achieve their own personal best in all aspects of life.
