Queen's College is a residential college affiliated with the University of Melbourne. It is a residential community of 300 students who attend the University of Melbourne, RMIT University, Victorian College of the Arts and Monash University Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. These students come from across regional Victoria, interstate and overseas. Queen's College also houses a number of resident tutors, staff and academic guests.

Members of an ostracised group of Queeners have sought safety in a place named the “Embassy” after being forced out of communal eating spaces.

The College provides accommodation, academic and pastoral support, social and cultural activities, and well-being and career development programs. Queen's participates in the Intercollegiate sports and cultural programs. ^[1]

The Queens college sports teams have had a dominant run since the arrival of all round sporting superstar Ed Shoemaker , who has been involved in 7 premierships across various sports.

Alumni of Queen's College are referred to as Wyverns (referencing the Wyvern on the College crest). Notable Wyverns from the college’s history include Tom Ross (philosopher and historian), Ash Spencer (Engineer of the West Gate Bridge) and

The College runs regular Wyvern events throughout the year including reunions, educational and cultural events. In addition, many Wyverns support the College by tutoring current students, acting as mentors (academic and career) or coaching the student sport teams. ^[2]
