Housing services

Centennial College wants all international students to feel welcome and comfortable in their new home away from home. There are many options available to students, including Centennial Residence or living off campus with other students or on your own.

Many places, like the Residence, ask for money in advance such as a deposit. Please take the time to read your housing contract carefully to ensure you are meeting the contract requirements in a timely manner. You should have your accommodation arranged prior to arrival, which means all required fees are paid and you have received confirmation. Be sure to visit our Housing Tips page for some important information to get you started.

Very Insightful

What I liked about this College was everyone was knowledgeable in their area of expertise. All the teachers were welcoming and everyone was inclusive. What I dislike was the communications of information, was not in a timely manner.
