victoria hall

Vic is the biggest rez on campus. With six floors of non-stop debauchery you are likely to make friends and floormates fast here.

Most rooms are doubles, with some singles, economy doubles, and triples. Bathrooms are private and across the hall from the rooms, and there is laundy on every floor. Additionally, there is a convenience store located right inside of the building, and a few massive common rooms (including one with a big screen tv).

This six floored building houses 782 students during the academic year. It's also usually home of the French Floor and the International Floor. The International Floor provides a multicultural living environment that includes both Canadians and students from other countries, so it's a great way to meet some really interesting people ... and hook up some great Reading Week vacations too!

In the basement of Vic Hall is a trendy cafeteria / cafe called the Lazy Scholar. Here you can spend your rez/ flex bucks and enjoy everything from greasy pizza to frothy cappuccinos in the surrounds of flat screen tvs and fireplaces.

Interesting fact: Vic was constructed in 1965 as a woman's residence and it was transformed into a co-ed building in 1988.
