Welcome to our Residences abbott

Abbott, how do I even start? I lived in Abbott in my first year, and now in my fourth year, I am here once again. Starting my Bishop’s experience in Abbott was one of the best deci- sions I had made. As I was far from home for the first time and was a little intimidated by traditional style residence (I now love traditional style as well, having lived in Mackinnon during my third year!), living in Abbott was a great way of having the experience of residence, while still having a semi-private washroom. In my case, because I was in a double room, I had to share my washroom with an amazing roommate and an amaz- ing bog mate. The location of Abbott, I believe is one of the best on Campus as it is conveniently a few steps away from Dewies, about one minute away from the Sports Plex in one direction and about 3 minutes away from the Student Centre in the other direction, and less than 10 minutes away from anywhere else on campus! I have met some incredible people in Abbott, and I have wonderful memories in this building that range from spending all day (and night) studying in one of the study rooms, to staying up all night watching movies in the basement. You would not regret living in this wonderful residence building.

I have lived in Mackinnon, Kuehn er and Abbott, but none of these buildings have been as calming as Munster. Although located nicely near Dewhurst Dining Hall, the Sports Plex and about 7 minutes away from classes, it o ff ers an oasis of quiet on our beautiful, but bu sy campus. During a pan- demic year, I was lucky to have a space that I could feel comfortable in 24/7 as well as have the flexibility to complete so much of my homework and classwork. Munster boasts beautifully renovated rooms, many di ff erent common rooms and study rooms as well as a Zen room with a massage chair.
