Residence at BU During This Pandemic

By Ronnie Kayla Neiman

The university is doing pretty much everything online this semester, so what about living on campus? What is available for students who want to live on campus, need access to the campus for labs and some classes?

There is only one residence building open. McMaster Hall is open to students where rent is one on a week-to-week basis at an affordable $125 each week, $500 a month. Each room is a single, rather than some being doubles. There are no shared rooms this semester, so the rooms do seem a bit bigger with the lack of a second set of furniture. The furniture has also been updated to give it a cleaner, more modern look. The rooms have access to their own bathrooms, so bathrooms aren’t shared with an entire floor.

Remember that even if you are living on campus, masks are still mandatory if you aren’t in a room. This is for the safety of all students, faculty and staff. If you have any questions about this unique residence situation during this semester, you can contact ancillary services by email to Jackie Nichol; the ancillary services manager at; nicholj@brandonu.ca.
