4. Lennox and Addington
One of the tallest resident buildings on campus. Most rooms are single or doubles. Each floor has a separate washroom for males and females however it is a communal after all. Convenient store and grocery located within the building. A little far from the main part of the campus. Can be considered to be a long walk for some students.
5. East Village
It’s basically like having your own house. A very private environment. A single town house can accommodate up to 6 students. Great for students who want space as all the bedrooms are single rooms. Great for parties!
6. Mills
It’s a traditional style of living where you are always surrounded by people. Most of the rooms are triples and showers are communal. It is especially hard to adjust if your roommates are total strangers.
7. Watson
It is one of the oldest buildings on campus. Is on the farthest end of north, so it’s not really convenient. Only resides 50 females.
8. South
Contains mainly single residences. Rooms seem a little claustrophobic. The rooms are nice and cozy but looks very sketchy from the outside. If you like privacy at the same time, love to party, maybe this could be your home.
