Participate in the graduate student housing survey
The University of Waterloo is conducting a graduate student housing survey to better understand the current housing experiences and preferences of graduate students. Your input will directly inform the University’s long-term planning for Campus Housing, ensuring that future housing supports align with student needs.
Campus housing wants to:
- Understand the housing situations and experiences of graduate students
- Identify housing preferences among graduate students
- Assess how housing needs vary across different demographic groups
