Along with providing invaluable opportunities to meet and make friends with students from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, living in residence offers students a supportive environment to develop new personal and social interests, and to receive support for academic goals, health and well-being.
Queen’s University Residences provides a wide range of living environments in 17 buildings across campus, offering students a mix of co-ed and single gender arrangements in single, double, triple and quad rooms. Many residence rooms are available with accessibility features.
Residence Accessibility

Residence

If a student coming to residence has any accessibility needs, they should fill out a Residences Health Accommodation Form (signed by their doctor) along with their application. If you have special needs that require physical accommodation or building adaptation, Queen’s Residence will meet your needs to the best of their ability, provided that you communicate these accommodations to them well in advance of your arrival. Special needs may include disabilities such as mobility, vision or hearing impairments.

While life at university is exciting and filled with new experiences, it can also be overwhelming. It is common for students to experience feelings of stress, anxiety, low mood and depression; all of which may have an impact on day-to-day activities and basic decision making.
