Almost gone are the days of couch burnings in North Dunedin, with the number of University of Otago students disciplined for fire-related incidents continuing to decline.
The university's annual disciplinary reports show the proctor dealt with 483 offenders last year, the same as the previous year.
Fire-related incidents are still falling, with 25 last year compared to 70 in 2016.
Both of those were well down on the 246 fire incidents in 2012.
In his annual report to the university council, proctor Dave Scott said 2017 saw another dramatic drop in fires, which was the continuation of a ''favourable'' trend.
Fires were not the only areas where student behaviour had continued to improve, with the number of glass-related incidents down on previous years, following a voluntary glass ban in North Dunedin, Mr Scott said.
Disorder incidents were also down.
The proctor's office dealt with 15 students who attended the Hyde St Keg Party; the majority being those ejected from the party who then tried to re-enter.
Other anti-social behaviour including violence, wilful damage and theft remained steady and there was evidence a significant proportion was perpetrated by non-students who migrated to the campus, Mr Scott said
There were 41 students referred to the provost for a total of 14 misconduct incidents, down from the 26 in 2016.
Incidents included burglary, assault, cannabis possession, an out-of-control flat party, vandalism and unruly flat initiations.
