Academic Advantages

Did you know that research indicates that students living in residence are in a better position to succeed academically, relative to those living off-campus? 

As a University of Alberta resident, your student will live on (or in close proximity to) campus.  This convenience increases access to professors and advisors, as well as the University's world-class libraries.  Through residence messaging, your student is more likely to hear about and engage in the academic support services available on campus.  

Residence Life also offers in-house programming and services such as peer tutoring, study lounges and résumé workshops.   Theses services are tailored for the student group living in each residence.
