All first years and most sophomores live in RLCs (Residential Learning Communities) housed in eight of our ten campus residence halls. Each RLC is built around one or two themes, like community service or contemporary world issues. Because the themes are broad, it's easy to find one that matches your interests.

All the residence halls are close to classrooms and the student centre, so students will never be more than a short walk from the library or an 8 a.m. coffee before class.
