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.
