Themed Communities
Customize your Residence experience with a Themed Community.
An Themed Community is a Residence community in which students share a common interest. You can expect to participate in activities and programs that are specifically planned for the community. Themed Communities are a great place to live and an easy place to make friends since you already have a common interest.
Please note that each Themed Community has a set location and room type. Selecting an Themed Community on your application will place you in that particular community's location, regardless of your location and room type preferences. If you would like to request roommates, the roommates also need to select the same Themed Community on their applications for the request to be accommodated.
Apply before June 1 to be guaranteed placement in your chosen Themed Community. Not all options may be available each year as they are subject to interest.
The Aviation community is for students who have been accepted to the Aviation program. Due to their unique and demanding schedule, this community is located in our East Residence townhouses to allow easy access to parking for travel requirements. This placement offers opportunities for students to work closely together in order to be successful in their field of study. Students are able to take part in community activities to connect with other members of their program on an informal basis to achieve the most out of the residence experience.
The Nursing community is open to students who have been accepted into the Nursing program. This community is comprised of both upper-year and first-year students.
