On-campus Housing
Notes
New to university life? Then residence living is perfect for you. We guarantee accommodation for every new student. Our safe, comfortable student housing provides a convenient "home away from home". Traditional on-campus residence living is available in all male, all female, and co-ed designations. A standard residence offers single and double rooms, dining rooms, lounges, television rooms, study areas, canteen, and computer rooms. Students wishing to live in residence can only apply once admitted to the University. Academic acceptance by the University does not guarantee admission to University housing or provision of off-campus accommodation.
Off-campus Housing
Notes
The University also operates non-traditional residences in residence and graduate houses, and apartments. Off-campus housing is available in a 33 storey University owned apartment complex.
Incoming Students
Open House is held in the fall of each year. This year it was held on October 20 where we hosted 1,000 students on our campus.

To get the best feel for Dalhousie, arrange a visit with a current student as your guide. Tour the campus, meet a coach, attend a class, eat at a dining hall, and chat with professors and students. You can also meet with an academic advisor.
In May and June, student/parent information sessions are held in many urban centres. The Returning to Learning program is an orientation for mature students. Through the Student Services Office, faculty members are readily available for individual advice to students throughout their first year and subsequent studies. An Advising Fair in January helps students select a major/honours program.
