Position Yourself for Success

We believe that learning is not limited to opening a book or listening to a lecture. We learn from every moment, situation and personal encounter. The more you are exposed to new situations and people, the more you grow.

But don't just take our word for it! Studies have shown that students living in residence have a better chance of succeeding academically, have more social interaction with peers and faculty members, and are more likely to be involved in extracurricular activities.

Get an Academic Edge!

It's clear that living in residence really gives you an academic advantage. Just think of the benefits of the academic and leadership programmers alone!

• Programs to help you make connections with professors
• Organized study groups for students in common courses
• Review sessions to help you prepare for exams
• Academic Cafés for academic support in a relaxed, café atmosphere
• Presentations to improve your study and exam-writing skills
• Opportunities to participate in fun programs such as study relays and breakfast clubs
• Academic bulletins, and much more!

Academic Cafés

Enjoy a java and sharpen your academic skills in our Academic Cafés. They provide a casual, relaxed setting where you can work on your studies with some friendly support, and all you have to do is walk to your residence dining hall to get there! Your academic and leadership programmers have organized a number of helpful workshops to be held in the cafés. Just come as you are and don't forget to bring some study questions!

Residence Education and Programs Office

The Residence Education and Programs Office works with the Centre for New Students, the Office of the Registrar, and various other offices on campus to create the optimum environment where residents can reach their potential and be academically successful. Programmers facilitate activities, such as social events, guest speakers, skill development workshops and films. All activities are geared toward helping you get acquainted with university life and developing your academic, personal and professional potential.
