Students in Calgary searching for housing as dorms fill up

Postsecondary students in Calgary are scrambling to find housing in time for the school year, reports City News. Mount Royal University Director of Resident Services Mark Keller said that the university is expecting all dorm rooms to be filled. Keller explained that MRU is doing its best to accommodate as many students as possible but still has a waitlist. The University of Calgary told City News that it cleared its waitlist last week and that all of its dorms are full. UCalgary Students’ Union Vice President External Julia Law said that while all first-year students who apply before May 1 are guaranteed housing, other students may be choosing to pursue off-campus housing because residences have been full in the past.
