Residence

Holiday closure: The King's campus is closed from end of day December 20 to January 2.

A shared living and learning community

Residence is more than just a convenient place to live. It immerses you in the King’s experience: a true living and learning community.

Most King’s students live in residence in their first year and enrol in the Foundation Year Program (FYP). Residence life is structured around FYP, encouraging you to think about and discuss the ideas from the texts you’re reading with classmates and friends. Learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom.

Like you, the president and residence staff called dons all live on campus too. We live, learn and work together in an academic community.

Dining services in Prince Hall is committed not only to providing you with great meal options for a variety of dietary needs, but also to being a core part of the vibrant and bustling King’s community.

We also welcome students from Dalhousie University, the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD), Saint Mary’s University and Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) to live in residence and share in our academic community.
