Helping parents understand dorm options, safety, accessibility, and what to expect at Canisius University.
Canisius University provides on-campus housing for students across several residence halls, ranging from traditional corridor-style halls for first-year students to suite-style options for upperclass students. First-year students are encouraged to live on campus as part of a vibrant residential learning experience rooted in Jesuit values.
Application Process: Students apply for housing through the Residence Life portal after being admitted. Assignments are made on a rolling basis. Freshmen and sophomores are typically assigned to Bosch or Frisch Hall; juniors and seniors may apply for suite-style or apartment-style options in Dugan, Delaney, Demerly, or Missler Hall, and the Koessler Athletic Center Apartments.
Meal Plans: Students living in Bosch, Frisch, Dugan, Delaney, Demerly, and Missler Hall are required to purchase a meal plan. The main Canisius Dining Hall is located inside Bosch Hall.
