In Residence Life we work together with you to help you develop skills needed to become an independent and strong individual.
By promoting your personal and academic growth we extend the educational experience beyond the classroom and lecture halls and the best part is, you choose how you wish to be involved!
Getting involved in residence is easy, whether you enjoy social activities with your friends, helping others with academics, the teamwork of sports and athletics, or taking charge of student leadership!
In addition to the life skills and becoming involved, you will also learn how your contributions help develop a unique and diverse experience. The Niagara College Residences help you learn what a global community feels like!
We have students from across the globe that can introduce you to different cultures and experiences, and help you gain a stronger sense of how you fit in your community.
IT’S ALL HERE FOR YOU!

♻️We want to keep our Residence buildings safe and sanitary, and we need your help to do it🗑
Don't forget garbage and recycling bins are located outdoors and it is the sole responsibility of each resident to remove garbage and recycling from your suite.
Where is the garbage area located? To the right of the front doors at Welland (you'll need to hang a right between the residence and the shed for access) and out of the front doors and around the right side of the building following the sidewalk around the back at NOTL.
Reminder: Be cautions when taking out garbage at night, opossums and raccoons are nocturnal animals that love to rummage in the garbage.
