Canadore has two residences, a town-house style residence located directly beside the Education Centre (College Drive campus), and an apartment style residence situated approximately 1 km from the College Drive campus. Both residences provide single bedrooms allowing you to have your own private space. Residence offers much more than a place to live. Going away to school is about much more than just attending classes - it’s about meeting new people, making new friends and discovering what it’s like to live away from home. In residence, you’ll have the opportunity to meet students with a wide variety of interests, personalities and cultures. Sharing living quarters with others will expand your social experience and help you develop skills in dealing with other people. Canadore’s town-house residence offers accommodation for 350 students and the apartment-style residence houses 146 students.
