Residence

There’s no better way for your child to get connected than by living in one of our three residences located on campus. Trueman, Fraser and Chapman house all offer co-ed living with the option of same sex sections. These three houses are conveniently located within a few minutes walk of classes, labs, the library, the farm and our athletic centre. Residence is a great place to meet new friends while developing a good study routine.

Each residence includes high speed internet, telephone and cable hook-ups for your son or daughter’s convenience. Laundry facilities are available in the basement of each house and is included in the residence fees. All three residences offers a lounge where students can hang out to take a break from studying, kick back, watch some television, or play some pool with friends.

Each house has a Don of Residence, an adult staff member, who lives in an apartment in the residence. The Don is responsible for the supervision of student staff and the quality of student life in the residence. The student staff consists of six Residence Assistants (RA’s) per house. The RA’s are fellow students who are trained to advise and assist residence dwellers. The RA’s aim to promote mutual respect among residence students to obtain the maximum enjoyment and benefit from university life.

When applying to residence, if students know which house they want to live in, they have the opportunity to request that house on their application form. If they have a friend who is also planning on living in residence and they want to live together, that request can be made too. We want to your son or daughter’s university experience to be as comfortable and memorable as possible. Students can also suggest to stay in a room in our quiet section, which we have in each one of our houses.
