Residences on the St. George Campus
The St. George campus offers residence at each of the seven colleges, Chestnut Residence, Graduate House or Student Family Housing. The more contemporary colleges feature updated residences, while the oldest colleges have more history. Each residence has its own intramural teams, events, governance, clubs and dining options. Each residence also has its own eligibility rules – some are open to all students, and others are open only to those studying in a certain academic program.
