Residences

Dalhousie has plenty of housing options available on our campuses, with something for everyone, including traditional and non-traditional residences.

More than a learning experience—it's a living experience

Something new or something with history? Closer to classes or closer to downtown? Roommate or room to yourself? You'll find lots to choose from in Dal’s residences.

Traditional and non-traditional options

Dal Residence offers many options for residences, both traditional and non-traditional style.

Traditional residences are popular with undergraduate students and offer single and double-occupancy options. These are traditional “dorm rooms”.

Non-traditional residences offer a more independent lifestyle in apartment or suite-style formats. You’ll still enjoy residence programming and supports, but with optional meal plans and more private spaces.

Dal Residence also offers family housing and mature housing options.
