Carleton's student residence complex is home to over 1,600 students each academic year. Graduate students are housed in a separate building which has single rooms in single sex or co-educational environments. Washrooms are shared between two rooms. The building also has study and television lounges, a laundry room, and open space for relaxation or group discussions. As part of the Residence fee they pay, residents receive a meal plan which provides lunch and dinner each day, seven days a week. In addition, there is a fully equipped kitchen located in Renfrew House for use by its residents, who may wish to prepare light meals, snacks, etc. (Please note that the meal plan remains compulsory to all students living in residence.)
There are no facilities on campus for married students. Graduate students wishing to apply to live in residence should make inquiries to the office of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research.
The Off-Campus Housing Service is designed to provide assistance in finding suitable accommodation to students who cannot be accommodated or are not interested in on-campus residential housing. This service mainly operates on a self-help basis, with listings of accommodation posted outside of 261 Stormont House for viewing twenty-four hours per day, seven days a week. During normal office hours we have staff members who are pleased to assist in any way with information, advice, etc. Free local phone service is available for your use, as well as posted maps and brochures on various topics including, but not limited to, bus service, the Landlord and Tenant Act, and meal plans. In addition to the above, the Off-Campus Centre, located in Room 225 Commons building, operates Monday to Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. during the months of July and August. Staff at the Centre provide personal assistance and further information, and have extra copies of the listings for use at the Centre.

Details regarding each listing include rates and the amenities provided. The University does not undertake to inspect or approve any of the facilities listed, so we strongly advise that your search be undertaken in person. The listings can also be viewedon any terminal having access to the University mainframe by typing the word "housing" after the "enter class" prompt appears.
