Residence and Meal Plan Fees

The new Ambrose student residence is fitted for 146 students in double and triple occupancy rooms. Rooms are equipped with a bed, desk, chair and closet space for each student. A bathroom will be shared between each suite. Students share a private lounge space equipped with soft seating, two refrigerators, a kitchen sink, cabinets, and a microwave.

This residence was built with safety and security in mind and boasts programmable proximity card-access systems, security cameras in the public areas, a single monitored entrance, and glazed stairwells with 24-hour lighting. The residence basement offers student computers, recreational space, cable television, laundry facilities, student storage space, and a bookable kitchen for special occassions.

All residence students are required to participate in the meal plan supplied by our professional food-services team supporting healthy living and a busy academic schedule. The meals are served in the main campus building with a good variety of healthy and popular choices. Residence and meal plans are required for first- and second-year students attending Ambrose from outside of Calgary.
