Residence Life
In Residence Life, we work with you to help develop the skills needed to become an independent and strong individual.
By promoting your personal and academic growth, we extend the educational experience beyond the classroom and lecture halls. The best part is, you choose how you wish to be involved!
Getting involved in residence is easy. Whether you enjoy social activities with your friends, helping others with academics, being part of the team or making changes for everyone by being active in student leadership, it’s all here and it’s all for you!
Living in Residence, you will also learn how your contributions help develop a unique and diverse experience. We have students from across the globe that will not only help you learn more about different cultures, languages and histories but will also help you gain a strong sense of how you fit into the global community!
Residence Life is like nothing you have ever experienced before - it’s all here for you!

What is Residence Orientation?
Our Residence Orientation is designed to assist you in your transition to Seneca and prepare you for success. Transitioning to life at Seneca means more independence and more responsibility and, if you’re like most students, you are probably looking forward to the adventure, but it can also a bit scary! Residence Orientation aims to calm your nerves and helps familiarize you with campus and your new community.
Orientation begins with your move into Residence, and a number of programs including an introduction to all of Seneca Polytechnic’s Student Services and Support programs; this information can make the difference between just getting by and excelling. In addition to these sessions, we also include many social events and activities both on and off campus.
You’ll feel confident starting your first day, knowing your way around campus with your new friends.
