On your Housing application, there is a spot where you can request living with a specific person. To be considered, you both:
- Must be eligible to live in the same buildings and rooms
- Mutually request one another
- Fill out the lifestyle portion of the housing application with the same criteria
Students who wish to live together can be placed together as roommates if they meet the criteria above; however, roommate requests are not guaranteed.
For more information about requesting roommates, contact Housing Services at housing@uleth.ca.
If you choose to live on-campus during your first year and are located in a room in University Hall, Piikani House, or Kainai House, the dining plan is mandatory.
- Students can use their dining plan at a number of locations all across campus, including Urban Market, Starbucks, Tim Hortons, Subway, Booster Juice, and more.
- Recent high school graduates may not opt out of the dining plan.
- Students living in Mt. Blakiston House, Siksika House, Tsuu T'ina House or the Village have the choice to purchase an optional Dining Plan
Priority is given to students who live outside the 100 km radius of Lethbridge city limits.
