Living on campus

Campus housing is more than a place to sleep and eat; it's a place to feel safe, secure and be successful. When you live on campus, you're exposed to opportunities and experiences that create community, promote inclusivity and most of all, support your personal and academic success.

View our Living on Campus Guide

The NSCC Living on Campus Guide includes our foundational approaches to on-campus living and our community standards. The guide also outlines what to expect while living in campus housing at NSCC.

Campus housing program

Our campus housing program provides opportunities for you to interact with a variety of campus communities, services and people. Some of our regular campus housing activities include:

  • Academic success programming – whether it's study skills sessions with a peer-assisted learning support team member or a career information workshop, we work with campus partners to deliver programming that supports your academic success.
  • Community connections – from campus housing and campus orientation activities to experiences in your local/regional community, we strive to make you feel welcome.
  • Personal wellbeing – from stress relief programs with puppies to intramurals/recreation opportunities, we know that students who take care of their mind, body and spirit are more successful.
