Your Guaranteed Home Away From Home

Laurier is proud to guarantee residence for all first-year, first-time students on our Waterloo and Brantford campuses.   

All of our residence buildings are on or very near campus, which makes getting to class on time really easy – even when you sleep in. It also means you'll have convenient access to coffee, food and the library for those late-night study sessions.
