Residence

We invite you to become part of a community where we hope you will make life long friends, learn about yourself, grow in your relationship with God, and discover new things.

Studies show that students who live in Rez are more involved in co-curricular activities and have a better university experience. Why not make Rez a part of your time at The King’s?

The King's University College offers two residence options for full-time students during the academic year (September through April): The Tower residence and the Apartment residence.

Tower Residence

Intended for first and second year students, the Tower provides a safe, convenient, reasonably priced housing option. All first year, out-of-town students are strongly advised to take advantage of the unique educational and social opportunities provided through residence life.

  • Rooms are large and fully furnished (including bed, desk, chair, bookshelf, wardrobe, and telephone service) for two students.
  • Each room has its own bathroom.
  • Subject to availability single rooms are available for an additional charge.
  • Internet access and cable television are included in the cost of the room.
  • Mini-refrigerators available for rent.
  • Common lounge areas and coin-operated laundry available.
  • Students are responsible for their own bed linens, task lighting and accessory furnishings.

Tower residence students access food services in the cafeteria by establishing a prepaid food services account.

Apartment Residence

Our five-storey apartment residence is intended for senior and returning students.

  • Self-contained suites with kitchen, living area, two bathrooms and six bedrooms in each suite.
  • Suites are fully furnished with appliances, dining table and chairs, living room furniture, bed, desk, chair, wardrobe and telephone service.
  • Coin-operated laundry facilities.
  • Food services accounts are also available, though not required, for Apartment residence students.

Rez Life

Life is never boring in Rez! Whether it’s a study group meeting in one of the lounges, a Rez dodge ball tournament, worship team practice, or showing your floor pride at Rez Olympics, there is always a way to get involved. The best thing about Rez, other than the convenience, is the community.

Each floor in the Tower has a Residence Assistant (RA), a second or third year student who lives on the floor. The RA is there to help plan floor activities, keep residents up to date on current happenings and important information, and provide support as students make the transition to university life. Each Tower floor also has a Ministry Coordinator (MC) who organizes small groups, helps the floors plan weekly worship services, and coordinates service projects.

The Apartment Residence has Community Life Leaders who find creative ways to help residents build friendships and community.
