Castlegar Student Housing
Students living together share many common goals and interests. Studying and socializing in a student housing community has proven to positively affect the overall education experience. Trained staff and advisors offer peer support plus social and educational activities designed to enhance your on-campus experience. You'll meet fellow students of different backgrounds, ages and cultures, and you'll be exposed to new perspectives. Living next to a student from another city, province or country is a great way to learn more about the world around you.
