Why College Boreal Residence?
About College Boreal Residence
With a capacity of 137 places, the residence offers a pleasant and safe living environment at an affordable cost. Each student shares his or her apartment with a roommate of the same sex. Some of the apartments are suitable for people with special needs. Located in a wooded and calm environment, on the south side of the campus, the building is a stone’s throw from the cafeteria and College services as well as the walking path. The College Boreal Residence is professionally operated and managed by Campus Living Centres.
