Welcome to Residence

The Residence Experience—Friends for Life

Living in residence means getting involved, making new friends, participating in exciting residence events, and having lots of fun. Become a member of Hall Council or a Residence Life Advisor. We have beautiful brand-new or recently renovated residence options. Whichever you choose, you'll be at home with your friends.

Because residence students tend to immerse themselves in campus life, they are more likely to achieve academic success by taking advantage of readily accessible support services such as free tutoring for first-year students, and time management and study skills workshops. The Residence Life team is available to help facilitate academic success, social interaction, and personal growth.

Carefree Convenience

There are many advantages to living in residence and convenience is one of them. You are close to classes, the library, and sports centre. There are no monthly bills, no hunting down landlords, no need to buy furniture, no commuting in bad weather, or worrying about gas and heating prices. Focus on school—we look after the rest.

Exciting Meal Plan Options

Food services provides all-you-care-to-eat meal plans with unlimited access until 10 p.m. There are lots of healthy food choices and our students find that campus meal plans save them time and money. Leave the shopping, cooking, dishes, and cleaning to us. Eat what you want, when you want.

"When I came to UPEI, I decided to live in residence so I would be on campus for classes, events, and anything else I wanted to be involved with.

"What I didn't realize was how at home I would feel, or how many people I would meet; not only from PEI, but from around the world.

"Living in residence allows me to do things my way, and for myself. And while it's nice to go home and have mom and dad help out, I always look forward to coming back to my other home, here at UPEI."
