Accomodation

On-Campus Residence
On-campus residences are offered at the Barrie, Orillia and Owen Sound campuses. On-campus living provides you with everything you need to make your college experience enjoyable and safe. Enjoy the convenience of being steps away from campus and having everything you need at your fingertips. Take part in residence life programs while making new lifelong friendships and getting to know your fellow residents. If you choose to live on-campus, you’ll have many opportunities to get involved in your college community. You can take an active leadership role in residence by:

Applying to be a resident advisor
Running for a position on the residence student council
Organizing or joining a club
Participating in intramural sports
Planning outings, and much more!

You’ll meet people from all around the world, have quick access to class, and to the many services and facilities provided at your campus. Get more information about individual on-campus residences by clicking on the Barrie, Orillia or Owen Sound campus tabs.

Barrie Residence: Georgian College’s Barrie Campus Residence provides not only accommodations but also a welcoming, safe environment where students can make friends, get involved, grow and develop.

The advantages of Barrie Campus Residence:

Your suite comes fully furnished with a double bed, desk and dresser. Each bedroom also features high speed and wireless internet access, TV with satellite television and telephone with free local calls.
The residence is equipped with a laundry facility, common kitchen, common lounges (with varying amenities in each), and a front desk that is staffed 24 hours a day.
Avoid a 12- month lease and pay only for the academic year (eight months).
Live on campus and enjoy all college amenities (computer labs, library, cafeterias, etc.) – you are only steps away.
You don’t have to worry about roommates who do not pay their bills.
Take part in the events hosted by your resident advisor (RA) and Residence Student Council or get involved as an RA or Residence Student Council team member yourself.
Participate in the many clubs and committees on campus.
Enjoy the comforts the residence provides with secure building access (swipe cards), 24-hour front desk and video surveillance in various areas of the building.

Off-Campus Housing

We advise students to finalize or research their accommodations before they arrive in Canada.
There are many options to find housing off-campus. Georgian College is partnered with Places4Students, a company that specializes in providing off-campus housing solutions to postsecondary students. Places4Students provide listings of properties available to rent, as well as profiles of students looking for roommates. This service is free of cost to Georgian students.

If you plan to live in off-campus housing, be prepared to:

Share a house or some common space with other students
Purchase and prepare your own meals
Pay your own bills and live with other people

The cost of private rentals is generally between $500 and $700 per room per month (meals not included) in Barrie, or $450 to $650 per room per month in other campus communities. In addition, students may pay $100 to $150 for utilities at some places.

Off-Campus Student Residences

Homestay
Students are carefully matched to one of our caring host families who will provide a private bedroom, food for three meals per day and internet access. It’s a great way for you to immerse yourself in Canadian culture and experience Canadian life in a family setting. It offers a lot of opportunity to practise your English and improve your language skills.

Georgian College currently works with third party partners who provide homestay services. Homestay requires a minimum of two months commitment and the two months must be paid in advance. Learn more and apply.
