Family Housing

Full-time students with children can enjoy the convenience of on-campus living by renting one of our nine partially furnished townhouses. These units have four bedrooms (one double and three twin-sized beds), a kitchen, dining area, two bathrooms, and a living room. Living room furniture is not provided; however, residents are welcome to bring their own. 

Outside, we have a courtyard with picnic tables where residents can bring a barbecue to cook on. The courtyard is enclosed by residences on three sides, and traffic in the area is limited, allowing children to play safely. Across the laneway, we have a sandbox, where children can play in plain sight, while their parents relax in the courtyard. These units also border on the Bear Creek Reservoir and Muskoseepi Park trail system, offering extended options for both children and adults to play.

All utilities are included in the rent.

Due to the limited availability of family units, the application deadline for family housing is April 30, and references are required. Assignment of family housing will be made by the end of May, with priority given to returning student-parents and out-of-town applicants with children.
