Community and Belonging

Why Choose Queen's Residence

“I loved my experience in residence. I can safely say that my time in Leonard Hall was the best year I've had at Queen's. All of my housemates now lived on my floor three years ago, and we will likely be friends for life. There is nothing better than Lenny brunch or a late-night Lazy burrito with friends.”
