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!
The Residence Life Team exists to promote a social and supportive community, with a strong emphasis on self-growth and development. They implement quality programming and promote a safe environment with high community standards that reflect our diverse community.
Being part of the Residence Life Team can be a positive life-changing experience. Skills and experiences gained from various positions will prepare student leaders for their future careers. Getting involved lets you make your living experience your own and help others get more from their residence experience too!

Residence Council members contribute to the community through programming, participating as committee members, and through meetings with the students. Residence Council consists of the elected executive members; vice president and president and general representatives; all students are welcome to apply to be a Residence Council member.

Becoming a tour room ambassador is simple! This in-house opportunity allows enthusiastic residents who love their residence space a chance to showcase their living space to potential future students.

On the afternoon of Monday April 8, 2024 we will experience a solar eclipse. Us lucky Niagarans are in the path of totality so we don't have to go anywhere, however the Niagara Region is expecting an influx of visitors to view this celestial event through the weekend and a State of Emergency has been declared in Niagara Falls, ON. Want to know how to prep for this event?
🏢 We encourage you to stay close to home and avoid travel off campus if at all possible. If you must leave the residence, make sure that you have planned your route and leave extra time for potential delays
🚙 Fill up your gas tank, get groceries and run errands before this weekend if possible.
⚕️ Expect crowds, lines and traffic. Have snacks, water, entertainment and first aid supplies on hand.
📞 As with any large event that brings many people into a concentrated area, it is possible that cell signal may be compromised. Develop a communication plan with family and friends if you will be out and about in case you lose or have limited service.
📱 Call 211 or check local municipality websites for service changes and closures.
🙈 Do NOT look directly at the uncovered sun. Viewing without ISO-certified lenses can cause retinal burns, sight loss and blurred vision.
🕶️ Eclipse glasses are available for students at both NC Campuses or can be sourced through many local community centers and libraries. Check out Niagara municipality websites *link* for more information
