Housing
On Campus
Residence is guaranteed for all new full-time students entering their first year of university in an undergraduate program, as long as you indicate your interest in residence by the deadline.
Whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student who is single or with a family, on-campus housing options are available at St. George, Scarborough and Mississauga.
Residence Life
Residence life is about more than where you live – it is where you will find a community. With a senior student mentor to guide you, you will have the chance to participate in exciting programming that builds on what you are learning inside the classroom while getting to know students from different programs.
