Rimbrook provides accommodation for women students of all nationalities and denominations from throughout New Zealand and overseas. Rimbrook also offers a range of optional facilities and activities for students and friends. Academic excellence is promoted at Rimbrook. A special study area is provided where students can study in peace and quiet. Seminars are organised for those who wish to improve their study techniques, to excel in their chosen fields and to enhance their learning experience during their university years.

Rimbrook has a friendly family atmosphere where genuine concern for each student is a priority. It is a ‘home away from home’. Every effort is made to help students cope with the demands of university life. Activities such as study weekends, outdoor activities and other social functions are offered by the centre and contribute to a balanced lifestyle.

Rimbrook's Service Projects are another optional activity for students. Visits to the sick, disabled and elderly are organised on a regular basis. These provide students with the opportunity to respond to community needs and to develop an active concern for others. An overseas project is organised annually for those who are interested. This is usually to help the poor in a developing country.
