The 100% guarantee

You are in!

You're finally here at the University of Waterloo, standing in the middle of your new residence room.

You have discovered what thousands of others learn every year – staying in residence at Waterloo means living in outstanding facilities, meeting new people, and becoming part of an awesome community. Residence life staff provide an environment to help make your transition to university life, and living away from home, as smooth as possible.

To your left: boxes yet to be unpacked. To your right: your roommate loading up his or her drawer with clothes. Soon the two of you are hanging out and making plans to meet other new students on your floor and check out all of the activities that Orientation Week has to offer.

Here's the best news: Residence is guaranteed at Waterloo Residences and at our affiliates; Renison University College, St. Jerome’s University, St. Paul’s University College – as long as you submit your Residence Community Ranking Form, available as of February 1st, 2012, and a non-refundable $500 deposit by the deadline date.
