Dear students: Forwarding this message to those who are looking for accommodation. *****
Hello to the Advisor Exchange,
As the January 2024 semester approaches, students attending UM worldwide seek accommodations as they begin their studies. In helping these students find accommodations, we are reaching out today to encourage you to send students to St John's College Residence.
St John's College Residence
The College Residence is a small community of 100 students where we host students from various faculties, including Science, Arts, Business, Nursing, First Year Students, ICM, and other areas. Our Residence is all single rooms and includes a complete meal plan, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner on weekdays and brunch and dinner on weekends. The community includes students of all ages and locations, including those from Manitoba, other provinces, and other countries. Residence dons are on call every night, ready to respond to emergencies and counsel students through homesickness, conflicts with friends, illness, etc., and the St John's College Residence Council provides leadership opportunities and organizes education and social events.
More information about Residence applications and rates can be found herehttps://umanitoba.ca/st-johns-college/residence.
St John's College Membership and Experience
In addition to our Residence, St John's College offers student memberships to those looking for a small community on the UM campus to study, meet friends, and receive financial support. Through our student membership, the College offers benefits such as $180,000 worth of scholarships and bursaries each year, discounts on our food and beverage services, monthly events held by our student council, and access to study carrels.
Students can become members of the College herehttps://umanitoba.ca/st-johns-college/student-experience#membership. Scholarship and bursary information can be found herehttps://umanitoba.ca/st-johns-college/student-experience/scholarships-bursaries-prizes'.

We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of Reconciliation and collaboration.
