Learn and Grow in a Welcoming Community

Over 4000 students choose to live in Residence each year, and we consistently rank among the top 5 comprehensive universities in Canada for student satisfaction.

When you live in Residence, you become a part of an engaging, fun and caring community that helps you make the most of your university experience. You meet people from around the world, form friendships that last a lifetime, and will benefit from living only minutes away from your classes, MacOdrum Library, Carleton Athletics and Teraanga Commons Dining Hall.
