At Home at UWaterloo: Addressing your Graduate Housing Questions

On April 5, Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs in partnership with Campus Housing hosted a webinar for students who have received offers to Waterloo called At Home at UWaterloo: Addressing Your Graduate Housing Questions.

The webinar included information on your housing options as a graduate student, both on- and off-campus, as well as the different types of graduate student housing we offer, eligibility requirements, application deadlines, costs, and what you can expect from your residence experience. The Q&A with our campus housing experts also provided some great information.
