Live in Residence

When you live in residence, you are steps away from your classes, the gym, restaurants, Edmonton’s arts and culture scene and a vibrant nightlife. With built-in support and move-in ready suites, you can focus on your studies and making the most of campus life.

Everything you need. Right where you need it.

Whether you’re studying, grabbing a bite with friends or catching a Griffins game, living on campus puts you in the middle of the action. And five minutes from class.

Affordable and all‑inclusive

Fully furnished suites include Wi-Fi, electricity, heat and water. No surprise bills, ever.

Safe and supported

Overnight security and a 24/7 front desk mean help is always close by.

Your suite, your style

Decorate, personalize and make your suite feel like home. 

No commute

Roll out of bed and be in class in minutes. Sleep in a little. You’ve earned it.

Instant community

Game nights, campus events and shared spaces make it easy to meet people.

SUITES

Your first-year residence advantage

Live downtown for less

Want to live in the heart of the city without breaking the bank? MacEwan has partnered with local developers to offer students a discount on nearby downtown housing.

With everything you need within walking distance, living off-campus means you get the full city experience while keeping campus close. Coffee shops, restaurants and local spots are right outside your door. And so is class.
