Residence Buildings

More than a learning experience—it's a living experience

Something new or something with history? Closer to classes or closer to downtown? Roommate or room to yourself? You'll find lots to choose from on Dal's Halifax campus.

Traditional Residences

These are popular with undergraduate students and include both single and double (roommate) rooms*. A meal plan is mandatory for all traditional residences. Traditional residences include:

• Gerard Hall
  
• Howe Hall 
• LeMarchant Place
• Mini Residence
• Risley Hall
• Shirreff Hall

Non-Traditional Residences

These are apartment-style accommodations and offer a more private and independent lifestyle. You'll enjoy many of the advantages of residence life such as support services, access to programs and facilities, and the option to purchase a meal plan. Non-Traditional residences include:

• Glengary Apartments
• Graduate House
  

Apply early as space in our non-traditional residences is limited.

Residence Agreements

All students in residence are required to sign an 8-month Residence Agreement (September to April inclusive). This is a contract between the student (or legal guardian if student is under 19 years of age) and the university outlining the regulations and responsibilities of living in residence. See Rules & Responsibilities to learn more.
