Student Housing at Vanguard College

Student Housing is available to incoming first-year students to help ease the transition to college life and foster a strong sense of community right from the start. Space is limited, so we encourage early reservations!

Vanguard College owns and leases several fully furnished houses within a two-block radius of campus. These homes are move-in ready and include basic utilities—internet, heat, water, electricity, and laundry—so students can settle in with ease.

Students gain a sense independence while staying in college-managed housing. Each house accommodates 5 students each with their own private rooms. Students are responsible for their own meals and groceries and will have a full kitchen to practice their culinary skills with new friends!

Important Note:

Incoming first-year students have priority for student housing until July 15. After this date, any remaining spots will be open to both first-year and upper-year students. If you're an incoming first-year student, be sure to secure your place before July 15 to maintain your priority.

Community Housing

Or if you prefer to rent an apartment in the neighborhood, we can help you with that through community housing.  There are many rental opportunities in Edmonton with lots in our local neighborhood. We would love to help you find a place that would be most suitable for you. We have a network called the Vanguard Housing Network which allows students to connect with potential roommates and see details about houses or apartments for rent in the area.
