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
