Housing: Where to stay while studying at RRU?
Whether it’s the bustling community of Langford, the fast-growing city of Colwood, or the beautiful city of Victoria, several housing opportunities are available to you.
Join us online on Wednesday, August 9 or Thursday, August 24, to learn more about housing options and hear from fellow students about their experience finding a place to call home here in Greater Victoria.
Campus Connect
Campus Connect is the place to explore life at RRU, meet the campus community and challenge our Campus Ambassadors to fun and games! Join us on Wednesday, September 20.
We are thrilled to host RRU's 2nd "New to Me" Clothing Rally at this season’s Campus Connect. Did you recently arrive in Victoria with just a couple of suitcases, tons of dreams, and the courage to start anew? Does living on a “student budget” make shopping for new clothes a challenge? RRU's 2nd “New to Me” Clothing Rally is just for you.
Indigenous Student Orientation
If your ancestors are Indigenous Peoples of the Lands we now call Canada or you’re Indigenous to other regions of the world, we are grateful that you have chosen to study at Royal Roads. We are committed to supporting your success.
We encourage you to connect with Candice Cook, our Indigenous Student Services Coordinator, to get oriented to RRU.
LaunchPad
When your student account is activated, you'll be automatically registered for LaunchPad. LaunchPad is our online site built to help you understand what to expect and how to succeed at RRU.
In addition, we offer LaunchPad Live! to connect in real time. We host LaunchPad Live twice a month, so visit our Events page to check out our upcoming sessions. Possible conversation topics include Student Life, Funding Your Education, Digital Literacy, Time Management & Study Skills and Stress Management & Building Resilience.
