Find a Place to Live
Are you moving into Halifax residence?
International students should contact the residence office for move-in dates and other information.
LIVE ON CAMPUS
Living in a Dalhousie residence is a great way to meet people. You can chose to live in a Living Learning Community cluster where you can live with other students with shared interests. If English is not your first language, residence provides a relaxed and friendly environment in which you can develop your language skills. Spots are limited so apply as soon as you can.
LIVE OFF CAMPUS
There are many clean and affordable apartments near our campuses. Find more information about local places to rent, and information and resources about off-campus living to help you understand your rights and responsibilities while renting in Nova Scotia. There is also a short list of temporary accommodations if you arrive in Halifax before your lease starts.
