We know it can be a little intimidating being a new student, especially if you're not familiar with campus, so we want to make your experience a great one. With UR Priority first-year students are going to live together in either Kīšik Towers or College West, so you can make friends and form connections with students in the same shoes as you.

One of the most exciting parts of UR Priority is the UR Priority Centre, located on the main floor of Kīšik Towers. No more wandering around campus trying to find the services you need. The UR Priority Centre is a central hub of resources and supports designed specifically for you. The centre has both office and common space, where you can work with academic advisors, career counsellors, tutors, take a writing workshop, talk to a counsellor, resolve conflict, volunteer on campus, find social events and a whole lot more!

There is no application deadline to participate in this initiative – you just need to be a first-year student living on campus. Apply now, and be part of this great community, UR Priority won’t be the same without you!
