UNB residence life offers students a unique opportunity for development and learning within a supportive community setting.

By living in the UNB residence community, students embrace a lifestyle that provides them with academic support, a sense of belonging, social interaction, safety and security; as well as opportunities for personal, leadership and community development.

The nature of residence life provides students with opportunities for learning and growth.  Proximity to campus resources provides accessible academic support: within the house, libraries, media resources, faculty members, tutors and support services.  Extra-curricular activities are also readily available to students, both within the house and university communities.  In residence, students are surrounded by peers who are at similar stages of development and can offer support with class, adjustments, and social development

Residence life programs should reflect the students’ developmental needs by being well-planned and delivered by residence leaders that help prepare students for the transition of life after university to independence and developing skills to assist in their career development.  Programs that take into account the needs of a residence community maximize the potential for personal and community development, striving to promote a Leaning Community and the development of a whole person. Our programming model is inspired by the Wellness Wheel model of personal health and well being:

As residence leaders, it is our duty to design vibrant programs that are effective, responsive and inclusive which builds a foundation for providing students with experiences which they can build on and chart their course for lifelong learning.
