Notes
If you’re new to Montreal, living on campus will make it easy to adjust to a new city and meet friends. All three of Concordia’s residences are lively places with students from around the globe. Residence Life Managers and Assistants help provide a supportive environment while you transition to university life. Living in residence simplifies things. Rooms are furnished and all of our residences have access to telephone and Internet services. There are several types of living arrangements available, from single and double occupancy rooms in the more traditional dormitory style of Hingston Hall and Grey Nuns Residence, to the private rooms and ensuite washrooms in the Jesuit Residence. Concordia Security is on duty 24/7 and all residence buildings are accessible only to residence staff members, occupants and their guests, creating a safe environment.
