Student Residence

(Prince George campus)

Important Notice: the Student Residence in the Prince George Campus is full for the 2009 fall Semester but you are still encouraged to submit your application as soon as possible for the waitlist because there are changes prior the 2009 fall Semester.

Due to higher enrollment numbers, students planning to attend CNC Fall 2010, you are encouraged to apply for residence as soon as possible even before being accepted into a program.

Stay in our comfortable student residence — it’s right on campus!

It’s also a five-minute walk from grocery shopping, restaurants, and one of northern BC's largest shopping malls

The residence has 92 private rooms. Each comes with a closet, desk, chair, lamp, bed, and a mini-kitchen with a microwave oven, sink, and small fridge.     

Most rooms share a bathroom with one other room. There are also four rooms accessible to students with disabilities.

The spacious shared common areas feature two comfortable lounges, a main floor kitchen area, and park-like grounds with a patio, picnic tables, and barbeque.
