BU Residence Reaches Maximum Occupancy

Brandon University Residence is currently slated to undergo a massive renovation project this Fall in McMaster Hall.  This reduces the building occupancy by nearly half, leaving us with a limited number spaces for Resident Students this fall.

As of July 12, there is a wait list for all three residences. We anticipate a growing wait list for all three residence halls in the coming weeks.

Our office is continuously monitoring the vacancies in each residence hall and offering what’s available to those on the wait list.

Students are still welcome to apply for residence online for a spot on the wait list.

We strongly encourage wait listed applicants to explore alternative housing arrangements, as not all wait listed applicants will be offered a room in residence.

BU Residence 2023/24 Applications are Now Open!

We are so excited that you are interested in BU Residence! Before you apply, be sure to read all of the information on this webpage. For any questions or concerns, please reach out to residence@brandonu.ca

Application Disclaimer

Applications are processed on a first come, first served basis with priority given to current resident students. While we try our best to accommodate room preferences, we cannot guarantee student’s first or second choice of hall and/or room type. If a student receives their second choice, they will not automatically be placed on a wait list for their first choice unless otherwise indicated.

We strongly encourage students to read over our residence information below before applying for residence.
