Meal Plan

All Western International College students are required to have a meal plan during the fall and winter terms. This will give you access to eight dining halls and a variety of campus eateries to suit a range of dietary needs. So you can focus on your studies, not groceries.

Residence meal plans are not available in the summer (May–August) as residence dining halls are closed. Not to worry, your suite includes a full kitchen and select campus eateries remain open throughout the season.

Student Supports and Community

Starting university is a big transition and Residence is here to support you through it.

Full-time Residence Life Coordinators and upper-year Student Leaders live alongside you, ready to help you settle in and connect you to the right resources. Free, confidential counselling is available exclusively for residence students, and front desk staff in every building are on hand for everyday needs. At residence, you’re not just finding a place to live — you’re joining a community.
