Something for Everyone

Live, learn and grow alongside your peers, and create strong and lasting friendships. Housing options transition with you as you progress through your university experience. From shared dorm-style rooms in first year, to full apartments in upper years or grad school, to family housing for families, there are options available for all students. It is recommended to apply for residence the same time you apply to UCalgary for your best chance to receive an offer.

First Year
