Accomodation

On-Campus Housing
The university has ten student residences: Le Blanc Hall, Marchand Hall, Stanton, Thompson Hall, Hyman Soloway, Friel, Henderson, Rideau, 45 Mann, 90 University and Annex. The university offers a variety of housing options. Four of the seven residences are conventional single and double bedrooms. Brooks and Hyman Soloway are 2–4 bedroom apartment-styled residences, while 90 University is a two bedroom suite-styled residence. On January 24, 2018, the new Annex residence was officially announced to students. The new residence will have 1-5 bedroom units including studio-styled single rooms. Residents are represented by the Residents' Association of the University of Ottawa (RAUO). With a mandate to help improve the quality of life in residences, each building elects a representative to the association.

Off-Campus Housing
The off-campus hoses can be rooms for rent, studio apartments, apartment flats and much more that are located within the vicinity of the institution. The students should come well in advance and look for residence options before the classes resume. The student associations at the university help students out with off-campus accommodation and assist them with the process.

Homestay
Coming to a new country can be exciting, but also intimidating. The Homestay program partners you with a family, who will help you to adjust to your new city by offering advice and information on getting around. You may choose to stay with the family for the rest of your study period, or just until you find your own apartment. While in homestay, you will also have the advantage of being in an environment in which English is the primary language.

Student Support

The University of Ottawa offers its students a wide variety of student services that contribute largely in building their futures. The students are immediately made to feel at home due to these great services and once they are comfortable they are able to adjust in the university environment.
