The Kingston Student Housing Co-operative offers many advantages over other student housing. Here are some of its benefits:

• The opportunity to live in an intentional community that works together and plays together
• All of our houses are located within walking distance of Queen's University campus or on a direct bus route to St. Lawrence College.
• Forget about summer sublet problems! Unlike most leases, you are not bound to a 12-month agreement. You can choose either a 4-month, 8-month lease and/or summer accommodation.
• Rooms can be furnished or unfurnished, depending on your needs.
• All houses are well maintained by our full-time property manager.
• We offer an Eat Smart certified meal plan that saves time and money. The meal plan will provide you with: breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Monday to Thursday; breakfast and lunch on Friday; and brunch on Saturday and Sunday.
• You are not required to find housemates -- we do that for you.
• Fees are all inclusive which means no surprises during the year.
• All of our houses are non-smoking.
• Co-op offers you the unique opportunity to meet people from all over the world.

Is Co-op Right for Me?

Living in co-op is a wonderful opportunity and adventure, but it is not for everyone. If you are simply interested in affordable housing, please look elsewhere because living in co-op requires a lot more than paying your bills on time. Every member must complete 3 Volunteer Operational Hours each semester to and if you live in a meal-plan house, you will work for 3 hours each week in the kitchen.

We hope that you will take the time to consider whether your personality, habits and values are a good match with the responsibilities of living in an intentional community.
