Rooms are assigned through a lottery based on preferences indicated on your residence application, and room availability. We do everything we can to ensure that students sharing rooms are compatible – that’s why the application form asks about your personal habits and preferences.

If you have questions about the room assignment process, contact us at housing@wlu.ca before submitting your residence application.

If you'd like to share a room with a friend, we'll try to accommodate your request. 

When filling out your residence applications, form a roommate group with your friend and be sure that you follow all the roommate group rules outlined in the application.

In completing the residence application, you will be agreeing to the terms and conditions.

If you choose to leave residence before the end of the agreed-to occupancy period while still attending Laurier, you are responsible for the full fees for your assigned residence room for the entire occupancy period.
