Winter residence spaces available

A message from Housing and Residences.

Where a student chooses to live has a direct impact on their personal and professional success at UWaterloo. Waterloo Residences strives to provide our students with accommodations that make them feel at home. No matter which building a student is assigned to, they will be part of a supportive environment designed to help them succeed.

Benefits of living in residence:

• Contracts that work for students – no subletting or dealing with landlords
• All-inclusive living - no utilities, bills, or hidden fees
• Upper-year only communities
• Proximity to campus – living on campus keeps students close to class
• Room types that fit the student lifestyle – apartment- or dorm-style
• Meals made easy – students can cook for themselves or purchase meal plans
• Responsive maintenance and clean facilities

We are currently accepting winter residence applications. Visit Waterloo Residences for more information.
