Campus Living Community Assistants are also on hand to host programs and events, offer peer guidance, and support, and provide 24/7 emergency support services.
"As a newcomer to Canada, living on campus helped me step out of my comfort zone, make friends from diverse backgrounds, and feel truly at home. I felt supported every step of the way."
