CHARLES F. (DOC) JOHNSTON RESIDENCE
ST. ANDREW'S COLLEGE
INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE RESIDENTS

Residence is full for the 2011-2012 academic year.

St. Andrew's College Residence is a service provided by The United Church of Canada. We endeavor not only to provide a home for students during their years of study at university, but in particular, to aid young women and men in the transition to life at a university.

St. Andrew's seeks to offer "something extra" to the students who choose to live here. To that end, attention is given to building a sense of community in residence. A friendly, family like atmosphere is apparent. Due to the small number of residents (the 18 people are made up of men and women students), a close knit group is formed, with senior class students helping their younger colleagues.

Persons are accepted into residence on the basis of their declared willingness to live in a respectful mature residence and to invest some of their time and effort in a common program including activity groups, sports and other special events that may be offered.

PURPOSE 

The Board of Trustees of the College has identified the following as the purpose of the Residence:

As an agent of the church it shall be the purpose of St. Andrew's College Residence to be a community that reflects the grace of God to all who choose to live here.

 

ADMINISTRATION

The Residence Association administers the residence. Individual and collective responsibility is expected on the part of all residents.
