Residence: The heart of our community

70% of our students have lived in one of our 7 residences.

Living in residence is more than just a choice of where you are going to live while studying at Bishop’s: it’s a bridge to our community and everything it has to offer. Our residence build- ings are the heartbeat of campus located in the centre of it all. Our students come from across Canada and countries around the world. There is no better way to become a Gaiter than by joining our diverse community right here on campus. It’s easy to see why so many of our students live on campus year after year: Convenience Location is everything and what’s better than living right in the middle of everything you need? Our classrooms, dining hall, sports complex, faculty offices, library and somuchmore are within minutes of our residence halls. And local shops, pharmacies, grocery store, ser- vices and so much more are just a short 10-minute walk away. Community If you’re worried about making friends when you arrive at Bishop’s, living in residence is your answer. From day one, you will be part of our inclusive Purple community. Our residence halls buzz with activity thanks to our Residence Life teamwho organize events just for you! Friendship From Orientation Week to final exams, residence is the place where you’ll be sharing expe- riences and making lasting friendships with people from various backgrounds. Whether it is from your study buddies, floor-mates, or friends you make at the dining hall, the memories you will make here are the ones you’ll look fondly back on long after you graduate.

Mackinnon, Norton and Pollack Halls These traditional style residences with single and double rooms are located in the centre of campus close to all buildings and services. They are perfect for first-year students who want to instantly be part of a smaller community within the Bishop’s family. Abbott, Kuehner and Munster Halls Welcome to the bog-style residences commonly referred to as “New Side”. Regular bogs offer the privacy of a single room with the benefits of having a roommate, while double rooms offer a true roommate experience. All bog styles offer a shared bathroom between bog-mates and are located next to the dining hall and sports complex. Paterson Hall This residence building offers “suites” with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and living room in each unit. Students living in this style have a partial meal plan and can cook meals for them- selves or choose a full meal plan package. Paterson is located adjacent to the New Side residences, golf course and duck pond.
