4. Apply for residence housing

York's residences are more than places to live. They are vibrant communities where students learn, grow and develop, and make friends that will last a lifetime. More than 4,000 students (1,600 are in first year) live at York in our ten undergraduate residences (eight on Keele campus, two on Glendon). Learn more about Housing at York.

If you will be arriving on campus this Fall from outside of Ontario or Canada, York University has a comprehensive quarantine program to support your arrival. Review the York Quarantine Information webpage for details.
