Housing

There are many housing options in Saint John, both on and off-campus. The university recommends that first year students live on campus in either our traditional residence or our two-bedroom suites. See the virtual tours to learn more.

Living in residence

Residence life offers a unique living and learning atmosphere that promotes academic achievement and enriches your UNB Saint John experience. Living on campus means easy access to the Commons, computer labs, athletic facilities and sporting, social and cultural events. Also, when you live on campus, meeting new friends is easy.

Our residences are home to students from across Canada and around the world. The fully furnished residence accommodations include: security access buildings, flexible meal plans, high-speed internet, laundry facilities, private telephone and cable TV.

Off-campus housing

Many UNB Saint John and Saint John College students live off-campus and form a vital component of the Saint John community. Saint John is a warm, friendly city which offers a wide variety of accommodations. Your housing search should therefore be an enjoyable one.

The Off-Campus Housing Office provides information to assist students in finding appropriate housing in Saint John. They also advise, counsel and advocate on behalf of students regarding housing issues. The office maintains limited listings of rooms in homes and apartments for rent.

Please note that UNB Saint John does not have a homestay program.

The Office of the Rentalsman has a wealth of information for first-time renters, along with information on giving notice, damage deposits and more.
