Housing
We were voted #1 in Canada for Residence Living because we believe that living in residence is so much more than a room with a bed. We strive to support all students in creating their home away from home. We do this by planning events and initiatives, hiring a team of 150+ Residence Life Staff to support you, and offering the appropriate academic, wellness and programming resources to allow you to thrive during your time at the University of Guelph.
U of G is known for its unique student experience, stunning campus and delicious food. We offer a wide variety of residences and room types, suitable for whatever living situation you’re looking for. We encourage you to check out our online tours to see more of what we have to offer.
To create this residence experience, where you feel safe and secure, where you have consistent opportunities to form connections, and where you learn more about what you need to succeed academically and more about yourself, we have close to 200 Residence Life Staff (RLS) living in communities or working at the building- and residence-wide level.
These staff create our Residence Life program each year and each residence student can expect to experience:
- Shared community meetings and experiences
- 1-on-1 check-ins and chats with your community Residence Life member
- Collaborations with campus partners that bring learning and involvement opportunities right into residence
- Exciting and diverse residence and campus-wide events/initiatives
- Residence environments where community standards are upheld, through Community and Roommate Agreements; nightly RLS “On-Call” shifts, facilitated mediations and more.
