Join us at Laurier
Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

Community Starts Here
Going away to university may be the first time you’ll live away from home. This new freedom is exciting, but it’s also an adjustment.
Immerse yourself in a community of support from your first day at Laurier, where staff and upper-year students are committed to your personal growth, development and safety. Share this new beginning with friends and create lifelong connections with the people you meet.
Our residence buildings are more than just a place to sleep and study; they are strong communities that encourage personal growth and development.
For Residence Life
Laurier has ranked #1 for Residence Life and Extracurricular Activities in Maclean's University Rankings for the past three years (2019, 2018, 2017).
We Saved a Spot for You
We guarantee residence to all undergraduate students attending a postsecondary institution for the first time. Applications and non-refundable deposits must be received before June 1, 2020 at 11:59 p.m.
Rooms are assigned based on preference and availability. You can request to live with a friend; otherwise, we’ll do our best to pair you with a roommate who has habits similar to yours.
Residence Fees
Below are rough estimates of residence costs. The fees displayed are for 2019/20 and are subject to increase for 2020/21. Visit our Residence Fees page for a full breakdown of costs by each of our residence buildings.

Accessible Accommodations
Students who require special consideration in the room assignment process based on a documented medical need or disability must submit a completed Residence Disability and Medical Verification form as part of their application. Forms will be reviewed to determine if any housing accommodations need to be considered when finalizing room placements.
Why Live in Residence?
Living in residence gives you plenty of opportunities to get involved, which can mean a quicker, easier transition to university. Residence students also have access to special activities planned just for them by their residence house councils.
Leave Class, Keep Learning
Residence Learning Communities in both Waterloo and Brantford give you a chance to live in themed environments that expand on concepts learned in class and spend more time with students who share the same interests.
Striking Out on Your Own?
Laurier has partnered with Places4Students.com, an off-campus housing website that specializes in providing students, schools and landlords with a quality rental property listing service. To view available rental property listings, roommate and sublet listings, visit:
Off Campus but Still Connected
Just because you’re living off campus or staying at home, that doesn’t mean you should be cut off from the action. You can still enjoy all the benefits that a residence community offers by joining LOCUS (Laurier Off-Campus University Students), which provides off-campus students with academic, social and personal support to ensure that you won’t miss out on Laurier’s on-campus experience.
