Your housing
You will be staying on campus in a dorm setting and assigned to a room with one roommate. We trust you will settle in comfortably and want you to consider your dorm room a ‘home away from home’. Rooms are furnished with a twin sized bed, wardrobe with hanging space, and both a shower and toilet. There is also shared storage space underneath the bed for suitcases and storage bins, as well as waterproof bins provided for outside storage.

- There are free laundry facilities available near the dorms.

- Wireless Internet access is available for student use in the Library and Student Lounge, but not in the dorms.
- Students may bring personal laptops for use outside of the classroom, but they are not required.
- Students are welcome to remain in dorms during Holiday breaks, although meals during those times cannot be guaranteed if they are not specifically scheduled to work. (does not apply to International Interns)
