Brock University

Niagara is one of Canada’s most unique regions, a diverse collection of communities, connected by rural landscapes and unspoiled nature, and bordered by two Great Lakes, the mighty Niagara River, and New York State. Niagara is wine country, craft breweries, arts, music, theatre, sports, beaches, hiking, biking, recreational trails, festivals, attractions, night clubs, pubs, and renowned farm-to-table culinary destinations, all only an hour from Toronto, and just across the border from Buffalo.

Being located in the cradle of Canadian history, Niagara is dotted with landmarks that recognise a nation’s story and celebrate Canada’s heritage. This includes the University’s namesake, Maj.-Gen. Sir Isaac Brock. From the thriving downtown St Catharine’s arts scene, to the culture of Niagara-on-the-Lake, to vineyards and farmers markets, to the mighty Niagara Falls, one the natural wonders of the world, the Niagara experience is like no other. An amazing place to live, work, and play, and an amazing home for Brock University.

Brock on campus housing is home to nearly 2,800 students every year. There are four distinct styles of buildings that each offer a unique experience and sense of community. Brock is one of the few universities that is able to offer a residence guarantee to students that apply before a specified date on its site.

Residence is available to Brock students in any year of study and it is a home away from home that nurtures a unique sense of place and identity for all students living on-campus.

Brock’s campus is designed to support student success and curiosity. Its cutting-edge facilities empower students to conduct impactful research with industry-leading tools or resources. The Goodman School of Business recently underwent a $20 million renovation to ensure business students have access to Bloomberg terminals and breakthrough resources. The Department of Engineering is set to have a new space where Integrated Engineering students can have state-of-the-art technologies to support their applied and fast-paced experiential education.

There’s still plenty of room at Brock to have fun, with ample student spaces to help you connect with friends or teammates. There are amazing fitness facilities, including the largest pool in the Niagara region and a 1,500 square foot gym. The campus is also connected to the Bruce Trail, one of the longest walking trails in the world and an amazing way to experience the natural beauty of the Niagara Escarpment.
