Single Student Housing
Single student housing is located on the southwest corner of the University Campus and consists of ten buildings offering a variety of accommodation styles. Housing options transition with students as they progress through their university experience. All buildings have an academic lounge where students can study or attend tutoring sessions and a recreational lounge to relax with friends. First-year students coming directly from high school live in traditional dormitory-style residence in the Rundle and Kananaskis Halls. Accommodating approximately 720 students in double and single rooms, housing in these buildings consists of single-gender and co-ed wings or floors to best meet the needs of individual students. Laundry facilities, recreational lounges and academic lounges are all available for student use. To ease the transition to university, students living in these buildings purchase a meal plan. More information on meal plans can be found at . Second year students experience hybrid living in furnished 2- and 3-bedroom suite-style apartments in Yamnuska Hall, the newest residence on campus. Equipped with a kitchenette, not a full kitchen, students in Yamnuska Hall need to purchase a meal plan so that they can have at least one hot, prepared meal every day. The in-suite kitchenettes are used to prepare small meals and snacks. Upper-year, international and transfer students live more independently in furnished studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 4-bedroom apartments with full kitchens in Cascade Hall, Norquay Hall, Brewster Hall and Olympus Hall. They can also choose to live in the suite-style apartments in Yamnuska Hall and Global Village. Glacier Hall and Castle Hall are designated graduate student apartment buildings. Each building has trained staff of Community Advisors and Residence Life Co-ordinators who are available 24 hours a day to assist students with the challenges faced in university. They are specifically trained in responding to personal crisis, directing students to appropriate university resources, academic learning strategies, and community building. Applications can be found online at . Students applying directly from high school (or who are under the age of 21 by September 1) are offered the Multi-year Residence Guarantee. Applying by April 30, will guarantee a place in residence for both first and second year.
