Thompson Rivers University Housing McGill Residence

Best place to live make friends and socialize rooms overall are good all staff members , RA managers are friendly.McGill housing is amazing best place to live close to university ,superstore and Wallmart. I have been living here since last one year I love this place .

It's tiny, but if you get out and meet people right away - you'll probably a have a blast!When I was there, we all had our doors open all the time, and constantly met the neighbours (and generally took any opportunity to leave our rooms). Great social atmosphere, if you get out of your bubble and meet people right away.

Living here for 8 months. Dorms are cozy. You get a fridge, microwave, sink, bed, and desk. 4 dorms share a bathroom and supply closet. Residents pay for parking and laundry facilities. 5 bucks a day with free weekends, holidays, and nights. (also allows parking anywhere on campus). Room was a bit grungy/dirty when I got in. But a bit of house cleaning made it feel like home. There is a common building with a kitchen, games room, laundry area and mailboxes. Front desk is helpful. If your going to college at TRU its good enough really.

I cannot be more honest with you! I wish i could give them a negative... Don't even try to consider them. The rooms are the most uncomfortable, unmaintained and old af.. The people who work there will scam you in a heart beat, if you don't follow up after moving out, they will take your damage deposit for no reason at all. For all new students, (cuz most existing student knows about them) especially for all International students, please avoid McGill housing as much as you can to avoid being scammed. and incase you move in, take as much pictures as you can when you move in for evidence when moving out.

Decent housing, a little small but overall I'm pleased. Staff are all friendly and I feel somewhat at home. People just have to make the best of it... although now living here for almost two years does take a toll

1. Terrible staff.2. Can never get ahold of them through email and even through calling.3. Website is full of glitches.4. It seems like they force run an automated system for a lot of backend stuff causing a lot of issues when you can never get ahold of them.5. Westgate dorm was incomplete. Was nice that they offered to allow students to stay at hotels but some places didn't even have microwaves and the staff at the hotels didn't allow students to hook up their own appliances.6. After move in date, there was still a lot of things incomplete. Yet, they said everything would be completed by beginning of semester. It was nearly a month after and they were still doing work. Also constant work that shouldn't need to be done.7. Too expensive, then again it's mainly just the entire region.8. Wifi was nearly inaccessible for most of the time and really slow as it piggy backs off the Universities internet which is shockingly bad.1/5. Would not recommend the University nor this housing.

Most of the reviews call Mcgill housing a terrible place with rooms the size of prison cells. They are right and not only are the rooms disgusting and tiny the bathrooms are covered mold and I had to spend 3 hours cleaning them by myself. The RA's spend every waking moment trying to get students in trouble and dont expect any parties or fun social events. Its a prison with guards and I cant wait to leave this place.

Rooms are a bit small but as a student you don’t really need that much.If it’s your first year in Canada or TRU in general, this is the best place to start.You get to have a good time and meet a lot of new people.Positive things:- You live with your friends and you get to see them everyday.- You live 5 min away from almost every building at TRU- On Campus WIFI is good and you get it at McGill- You have an RA and he or she will take care of you and take you seriously with every problem that you might encounter.- You live next to a gym/pool/running facilities- Both Superstore and Walmart are at walking distances of 10 min.Negative things:- Sometimes you can hear the outside noise- Winter wind gusts can be a little bit harder in between the towers.

This place is outstanding for students. The staff is very caring, supportive and understanding. They helped me alot, especially in my travel to Kamloops during covid 19. The rooms are very clean and well maintained. I recommend every international student to choose McGill residence as their first place to live on campus. Thank you McGill

If you're serious about your schooling and/or in an intensive program, I wouldn't suggest living here. Unless you want to take chance on what my friends would call Nightmare Roommates". Although staff have been kind
