Residences at St Mike's

Where Friendships and Memories Last a Lifetime

Living in residence provides the convenience of being just steps away from your classes, as well as all the other unique opportunities our urban campus has to offer. It’s also an ideal way to experience the independence of living on your own but with a support network to help guide you through the transition. Each of our residence houses is assigned its own ‘don’ who is responsible for fostering community, promoting social and educational events, as well as ensuring the rules of residence are being followed.
St. Mike’s offers two separate residence operations:

1. SMC Student Residence which accommodates both men and women
2. Loretto College Residence for women only.

Male students can expect to receive information from the SMC Student Residence only, while female students will receive information from both. This information will be sent to you via email so be sure that your e-mail inbox accepts e-mail and attachments from addresses with a ‘utoronto.ca’ domain (you may also want to check your ‘junk’ box regularly just in case).
The University of Toronto guarantees residence to freshmen students
providing

1. they indicated an interest in residence by completing the University’s Common Residence Application (MyRes) by March 31, 2013
2. they receive and accept their offer of admission to the university by June 3, 2013 and
