Where will you stay?
During BASE, you will stay in one of Waterloo's residences or one of the residences of our affiliated University Colleges.
Residence life is an important part of the BASE program. Your residence leaders are upper-year students called dons. They organize activities that help you meet new people and make friends.
Renison Residence provides an exclusive BASE Living-Learning Community for BASE students. As you live among other Canadian and international students, you can access special supports, resources, and events as part of the BASE Living-Learning Community if you live in Renison Residence.
