Prospective Residents
The Residence Experience—Friends for Life
There are many advantages to living in residence, and convenience is one of them. You are close to classes, the library, and the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre (great for working out and watching your favourite UPEI Panther athletes in action). Residence is your home away from home, and this is important to understand. You are part of a community of like-minded individuals working hard at being a student and enjoying all this means.
And remember: There are no monthly bills, no hunting down landlords, no need to buy furniture, no commuting in bad weather, or worrying about gas and heating prices. Focus on school and being part of the residence community. Our team is available to help facilitate academic success, social interaction, and personal growth.
Exciting Meal Plan Options
Food services provides all-you-care-to-eat meal plans with unlimited access until 9:00 pm. There are lots of healthy food choices and our students find that campus meal plans save them time and money. Leave the shopping, cooking, dishes, and cleaning to us. Eat what you want, when you want. For students living in residence there is no better place to meet new people, or to check-in and catch up with friends, than the Wanda Wyatt Dining Hall.
Parents and Family Members
Residence life for students at UPEI just keeps getting better and better. With improved facilities, committed Residence Life Advisors, and access to numerous in-house student support programs, parents of students in residence can be assured that our residences provide safe active living and learning environments which go well beyond the obvious conveniences of living right on campus. Since this may be your son or daughter's first experience living away from home, you may be interested in, or reassured by, reading specific information on UPEI's residence services, safeguards, policies and procedures. All the details are available in the Residence Life Handbook and in our Residence Life Agreement.
