Services and Housing for Students

Living at a home makes the move to living independently simple, practical, and enjoyable. The Seneca homes are suite-style housing units with two private bedrooms, a bathroom, and an ensuite kitchenette with a refrigerator and microwave. They are located on the Newnham and King campuses. In addition to a double bed, a desk, a chair, a wardrobe, and a dresser, every bedroom features a phone line, cable TV, and internet access.

Additionally, students have access to communal kitchens, laundry facilities, and social lounges where they may play games, watch movies, and engage in other social activities. Residence buildings are secure because they have a front desk, round-the-clock video surveillance, and restricted swipe card access.
We at Seneca want to make sure you have all you need to be successful. Seneca provides tools and help for both academic and personal needs.
