Nipissing Blog! January 12th 2010 - Residence

The lovely view out of my bedroom at Nipissing. (From Chancellors House)

Nipissing has four residence complexes, Founders House, Chancellors House, Governors House and Townhouses. While I have only had experiences in Founders and Chancellors, i imagine that the other two are equally fun.

Residence is such a great experience for everybody who chooses to live in it. There is always something exciting going on and there is never a dull moment. They say Frosh Week is the place where you will meet friends that will last a lifetime, while that is true, the bonds that are created in residence prove to be much stronger. You see these people everyday and you have no choice but to love them. Being in first year it was a great choice to live in residence

Most first year students hear that governors house is the "place to be" for first year, well, that is what i thought. And when I received my letter for chancellors house I was a little upset by it. However not even a week in, i realized that i had found the best complex and i was lucky to be a part of such a close community! Especially on 6th floor, we all know eachother and all hang out, so its very esay to make friends!

Residence Council provides different activities throughout the year that gives us a great break from the stresses of school work. We have nights like karaoke nights, movie nights, pizza nights, games nights, scavenger hunts, outdoor hockey, snow soccer and much much more! It is run by the Residence COuncil VP's with the help of their chairs and floor reps!

There are many positions within residence that you can apply for that could help you stay up to date and involved in all the cool events happening at residence.

Each Residence Complex have Residence Dons which are your go to people if you need help with your roommates, social problems, homesick, personal problems, homework, or even if you need somebody to talk to. They are a great bunch and help so much around residence!
