Welcome to Residence at the University of Waterloo!
Until Move In Day
When you live in rez, you’ll get more than just a room close to your classes. Residence life is a total experience. You’ll get to know some of the students you share classes with, find people to hang out with, and some of you will develop close, lifelong friendships.
Together you will create memories that will last a lifetime.
