5 Reasons to Live on Campus at CapU Squamish

Affordable and convenient housing

With a consistently low vacancy rate and high rental prices, finding off-campus housing in Squamish is challenging for students on a budget.

CapU’s on-campus housing provides a safe, secure and engaging alternative. We offer meal plans for students, so you won’t need to worry about buying groceries and preparing food, leaving you more time to invest in your studies, hobbies and social connections.

The proximity of student housing to classrooms adds to the convenience, allowing students to enjoy a few extra minutes of sleep before class. Each room is a single room with a shared bathroom, so you can enjoy both privacy and community living.

Create connections and friendships

Umunna emphasizes that on-campus housing fosters student engagement and retention, especially in their first year. “Once students create connections and friendships in the first year, it drives their success long-term,” he explains.

The sense of community developed in on-campus housing is invaluable, with students actively participating in events and activities designed to build strong bonds.

Comprehensive support services

CapU’s on-campus housing provides extensive support services to ensure students feel at home, with trained staff members living on site.

These staff members understand the student journey and offer personalized support, creating a tight-knit community where everyone knows each other by name. With a supportive environment, we ensure that your transition to university life is memorable and smooth.
