Find out why UNB scored over 90% in student satisfaction

1. Authentic University Campus

Ivy-covered brick walls and a warm, welcoming sense of community that makes you feel like you really belong… everything a university experience should be!

While living in one of our fourteen residences, you’ll never be more than a 2-3 minute walk from your classes, labs, athletic facilities, stores, cafés, and more.

Our residences are fun and supportive environments. Each has their own charity events and traditions, such as:

• The Bridges House Polar Dip.
• Aitken House’s annual Club Med party, where residents bring the beach to the house by trucking sand into the basement.
• The Harrison House Pumpkin Sacrifice, the longest-running residence tradition in Canada, where each year, residents drop a giant, 500-pound pumpkin from the top of the residence.

2. Small class sizes

Our average first and second-year class size is only 31. That’s likely the same size as your high school classes. You will learn from professors who will know your name.
