Welcome to Residence Life & Housing
On behalf of the Residence Life Team at Conestoga, we'd like to send a warm thank you to all students who have applied so far. We understand that taking this step is a big one for most students and we will try to make this journey a smooth one.
At Conestoga College Residence, our mission in Residence Life is to provide an environment that supports the educational and social development of our residents. We emphasize the strong importance on student involvement and engagement on campus and within the community. The reality is, student involvement generates greater student retention and has been a strong pulling force to our Residence Life team through the improvement of our residence life programming and enhancement to our facilities.
Living in residence is a unique experience that will guide you towards learning more about yourself. You will have the opportunity to meet people of varied races, ethnicities, classes, sexual orientations, and genders. You will become part of this dynamic community through residence involvement. In addition to your fellow students, you will meet the residence staff that is available to help and guide you throughout the year.
We want you to be proud of being a Conestoga College student and we want to be there for you to make your college experience an unforgettable one!
If you have not yet had the opportunity to apply, we suggest you do so as soon as possible. Spaces are filing up quickly! To apply, visit our website www.conestogarez.ca
