Dorms and townhouses
Cambrian's residence holds up to 677 students in two styles. Dorm suites are shared by two residents, each with a private bedroom, plus a kitchenette and bathroom. Townhouses are two storeys shared by six residents, with a full kitchen and living room. Rooms are furnished with free internet, and the front desk is staffed 24 hours a day.
How to apply
Apply through the residence housing portal. You don't need an offer yet, just an application to Cambrian and a student number. A $100 non-refundable fee applies. Applications are accepted until residence is full, but those after April 15 may be waitlisted. Offers go out first come, first served from April, and room types aren't guaranteed.
2026–27 rates
For 2026–27, a full academic year costs $8,420, paid in full by June 15, 2026 or in two equal instalments. A four-payment plan adds a $250 administration fee. Students using OSAP, RESP, ODSP or a sponsor are encouraged to choose instalments. Winter 2027 applications open October 15, 2026.
Living there
Residence doesn't sell meal plans, though the college offers them separately. Co-ed living is the default, and you can opt out. Staying over the December 20 to January 8 winter break costs $45 a day and needs approval. Roommate selection opens in early July, with confirmations in early August.
