Toronto Metropolitan University Residence & Student Apartments

TMU publishes four rent and meal-plan instalments for a 33-week term. When those official instalments are added, representative totals range from $14,110.86 for a Pitman four- or five-bedroom apartment room with the apartment declining-balance plan to $22,714.86 for a Daphne Cockwell two-bedroom apartment room with the seven-day plan. The separate $50 application fee is not included, and the exact total depends on the building, room, and meal plan.

No. TMU gives first-year students the highest year-of-study priority and then ranks applicants by distance from the university, with students living farthest away receiving higher priority. If on-time demand exceeds the approximately 1,144 available beds, TMU creates a waiting list. A priority position, application, or room preference is not a residence guarantee.

For 2026–2027, the application opened February 2, 2026 and the initial deadline was June 4, 2026. The first offer and waiting-list notices were scheduled for June 12, with first-round acceptance and the first instalment due June 25. Those dates have passed and are not Fall 2027 dates. TMU has not yet published the equivalent Fall 2027 residence schedule.

First receive a full or conditional undergraduate admission offer. Then create an eRezLife account, submit the residence application, rank the eligible room styles, and immediately pay the non-refundable $50 application fee through MyServiceHub. TMU does not consider the application complete until it receives the fee. Monitor the TMU email account for an offer or waiting-list notice.

TMU currently operates three on-campus residence buildings with approximately 1,144 beds: Daphne Cockwell Complex at 288 Church Street, the International Living/Learning Centre at 240 Jarvis Street, and Pitman Hall at 160 Mutual Street. First-year applicants can be considered for all three buildings, and first-year students receive priority.

Daphne Cockwell Complex has private bedrooms in two- and four-bedroom apartments. The International Living/Learning Centre has doubles with a semi-private washroom and singles with a private washroom. Pitman Hall has doubles and singles with hallway washrooms, paired rooms with semi-private washrooms, and private bedrooms in four- or five-bedroom apartments.

Yes. TMU says every room in Daphne Cockwell Complex, the International Living/Learning Centre, and Pitman Hall has a mandatory meal plan. DCC residents can choose a five- or seven-day plan, ILC rooms use the seven-day plan, and Pitman four- or five-bedroom apartment residents can choose the seven-day, five-day, or lower apartment declining-balance plan. Other Pitman room styles use the seven-day plan.

Applicants rank room-style preferences, but TMU prioritizes placing students in residence before trying to match those choices, so a preferred building or room is not guaranteed. Roommate and gender-identity preferences are considered during assignment but do not affect priority, which is based only on year of study and distance. Waiting-list applicants can broaden their room preferences before receiving an offer.

TMU's Off-Campus Housing resources cover determining housing needs, search tools, roommates, living costs, viewings, safety and scams, rental applications, leases, tenant insurance, subletting, and Ontario tenant rights. Compare private student residences with ordinary Toronto rentals, verify the operator and unit, inspect before paying, read the written lease, and budget utilities, internet, furnishings, insurance, transit, and summer rent.

TMU announced a 21-storey Bond Street residence targeted to open in 2030, with more than 1,370 additional beds and mostly self-contained suites. It is not an option for Fall 2027 applicants. Current applicants should plan around the approximately 1,144 beds in Daphne Cockwell Complex, the International Living/Learning Centre, and Pitman Hall plus an off-campus backup.
