Queen’s University Campus & Accommodation

The university is located in Kingston, a small town centrally situated at a 3-hour drive from the main cities of Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto. It sees some beautiful summers and autumns, with maple leaves turning the whole place yellow and red. The winters, however, can be extremely chilly and windy.

  • With tons of great food and cafes, every basic amenity at walking distance, a number of parks and grassy spaces, and a breathtakingly gorgeous 166 acres of campus land, Kingston is a place that is equally brilliant in terms of its education and beauty.
  • Kingston with its distinctly European vibe is a unique and beautiful town to explore. A haven for food-lovers, the place offers some great places with a finger-licking variety of food. In fact, Kingston is believed to have the highest number of restaurants per capita in the whole of Canada.
  • With some beautiful neighborhoods, historic sites, old limestone buildings, and lots of coffee and tea shops to hang out at, the place is a close-knit community bustling with activity.

In the summer, it offers some picturesque views, parks, and a lakefront to picnic and unwinds at. It also has a Screening Room which is an independent movie theater for cinema enthusiasts, Athletics and Recreation Center and timely concerts to help students loosen and relax.

Queen’s University Accomodation

Queen’s provides its candidates with easy and affordable accommodation options, available both on and off-campus. While Vancouver and Toronto do not have many pocket-friendly residence options, Kingston on the other hand is a student’s dream in this respect.

On-Campus

The university houses over 4,500 students in its 17 residencies which are both economical and at a 20-minute walk from campus. First-year students usually prefer to stay on-campus because its cheap, safe and easily accessible at all times.

Among its 17 residencies, “The Graduate Residence” and everything “east of campus” is preferred by students for it is lively, close to campus, market & civilization, and offers endless options to chill during weekends. But if you are one of the loners with a fond love for quiet and personal space, then Jean Royce Hall residence might be the place for you.

Room Type Room & Meal Plan (in INR)
Single Room 9.55 lakhs
Single Plus Room 10.16 lakhs
Double Room 9.02 lakhs
Triple Room 8.63 lakhs
Quad Room 8.63 lakhs
Loft Double Room 5.28 lakhs

  • Some of the happening places with the most bars and places to hang out includes “Student Ghetto” and downtown locations. While Student Ghetto is a favorite off-campus site for students looking for constant activity, some might also find it overpriced for the post-apocalyptic houses it offers.
  • “Princess Street” and “Ontario Street” are the other alternatives that can be considered in terms of cost, their close proximity to campus & market, and other recreational activities.
  • However, if you are looking for a lavish upscale living option, then “east of campus” including “Sydenham Ward” and “Wellington Street” is surely the place for you.

The city of Kingston where the university is located is very beautiful. And I have talked to some people from that university and one of the major thing everyone mentioned was that the teachers are very passionate. And that is the one thing that matters to me the most about any institute.

Overview

They had an easy application process and are very well known for their amazing business school. They have high retention rates and high success of employment after graduating. They also offer a joint Bcom and JD program, few unis in the country do. I was too of my class, president of service clubs, and a public speaker. I did the IB program and they transferred my credits easily.

Fees

For commerce, it was about 15,000 per year. Books are about 400 per semester. I'm not sure if there are scholarships for international students. There are many entrance and commerce specific scholarships available. I was awarded the chancellors scholarship for 36,000 (9,000 per year). It is for students who excel in academics and extracurricular.

7.5 /10

Overview

Its reputation and sense of community is something I was immediately attracted to. Also, Queen's prides itself on its traditions and heritage that are part of its history as an educational institution. Also, Queen's is a fair distance away from my hometown so it's not hard to get home if needed but also I'm far away at the same time.

Fees

Tuition for a full course load (100%, 5 courses/ 18 credit units) is CAD$ 3,429.50 per semester and a total of CAD$ 1,099.44 is charged in mandatory student fees and ancillary fees. These include charges for student services, campus extra-curricular, athletics and recreation membership, student government fees, etc. With the introduction of the Ontario Government's Student Choice Initiative, many of these fees will become opt-out which is eliminating many of the programmings our student government offers and supports available on campus. Overall, how much is paid in student fees will vary amongst individuals going forward.

Parents went there. Was originally in the con-Ed program, one of few in the province. It was far away from home while being less than a day?s travel. Cost of living was much lower than home, and it had a vibrant queer community.

Fees

Basic student fees for transit pass, insurance, gym membership, student government. Courses were included in tuition fees, dropped courses by a certain date are refunded. Textbooks are often expensive, though some profs will use older versions that can be bought secondhand.

Overview

Knew a lot of friends that planned on attending the university and had a strong interest in their cheerleading team. A great community environment and a very pretty campus felt very welcomed. It was very easy to make friends.

Fees

In the first year, the residence was quite expensive because of having a food plan. This year I only pay tuition which has made it a lot cheaper. Textbooks are another expense that I had to pay for which can become very expensive very fast when I need one for every class. $200 for a textbook is too expensive when I have to buy 5 of them.
