Residence

Students seeking on-campus accommodations are advised to apply for residence at Carey Centre or St. Andrew’s Hall in the winter of the year before their arrival. These residences are open to UBC and Corpus Christi Students and both are very popular. Space is limited. Students are advised not only to indicate that they are a Corpus Christi College applicant on their residence application, but also to advise the College of their intention to live in residence. Although these residences are independently run, the College strives to work closely with the administration of these residences to meet the needs of Corpus Christi students. Residence is not guaranteed.
