Future Residents

Welcome to your future residence at Carleton University!


Living on campus is a lifestyle promoting learning outside of the classroom, personal growth and development, community support, engagement and leadership development. Our residences offer a space for students to study, interact and develop positive relationships, while continuing to reflect on their goals and purpose. Stay informed by reviewing all important dates and deadlines.
