Regina is the sunniest capital city in Canada, and the hearts are always open to students. Regina, in the province of Saskatchewan,
Canada, seems to shoot right out of the plains, its more than 350,000 handplanted trees providing an oasis on the prairies. This beautiful capital city has grown since the 1880s through good farming, booming resource industries, a diversified economy and expanding government services. More than 200,000 people make their home in this friendly prairie city.
The University is situated within Wascana Centre, North America’s largest urban park. Besides expansive lawns, waterways and bike paths, Wascana also holds a research technology park, a world-class performing centre, a leading Canadian art gallery, a science centre, a natural history museum, a bird sanctuary, a major movie soundstage, excellent rowing facilities, a lakeside restaurant and the Saskatchewan Legislative Building.
Elsewhere in Regina you’ll find the RCMP Heritage Centre and national training facility, professional theatre, a symphony orchestra, the province’s biggest casino and extensive cultural, commercial and entertainment opportunities.
Living on campus is the perfect way to get the full U of R student experience: it offers you independence and friendship in a vibrant, multicultural atmosphere. Residences include access to computer labs, lounges, music rooms, games rooms and laundry facilities. All rooms have free telephone and high-speed Internet access and are fully furnished – what could be more convenient than that? Not to mention you’ll be so close to all of your classes and won’t have to worry about starting a car in the winter!
The
University of Regina has every possible living arrangement for you to choose from: on your own or with roommates, in a dorm or an apartment, cooking for yourself or buying a meal plan, co-ed or not, living with people you already know or making new friends. Your family might miss you, but there’s nothing like living in residence. Check out the
