McGill Residences house approximately 2,700 undergraduate students in dormitories, apartments, and shared-facilities houses. McGill's dormitories are primarily for first-year students and feature full meal service. McGill's apartment-style residences and shared-facilities houses are mainly for first-year students who desire a more independent residence lifestyle.
Trained upper-year student leaders (Floor Fellows) and Academic Staff (Directors) live in all McGill Residences and provide support for the residents. An elected Residence Council serves as the voice of students.
All residence rooms have telephone and high-speed network-access services which are available at extra cost. All McGill Residences are connected to the McGill Wireless Network.
