Accommodation for ICM students

"Privet" from me and "Hola" from Bryan!

I'm really excited to make this new post because lately a lot of people who are planning on studying in icm were interested in accomodation available for them. So I decided that it would be very handy to make a review of accomodations available on campus.

So if somebody actually saw a weird girl with the camera checking every single corner - well, that was me!=)

Important note: that is not all the options that you can consider as your accomodation! I will make another entry exclusivelly about "homestay" and a "rent" option. But you can always check all the information on icm official page for more details or contact one of there advisors. 

Some general information at the beginning.
ALL the residents are available to the ICM students.
You can check all the important information (including due days and fees) here.
You can find an interactive campus map here or click on the "interactive campus tour" tag in the top left corner of the page! Find your favorite residence on the map, click on the picture and see how it looks like! (also check the other pictures of the campus we made for you!)
Living in residence is fun!
If you have any questiones do not hesitate to ask me (my mail/twitter/facebook is available in the right top corner).

Mary Speechly Hall Residence

 
Ok, first, it has a gym! Who likes sports, that is your choice. Second, it has a very convenient and quiet lounge on the top floor to study in (with the great view out of the window). The music lovers (like me) will find the piano in the basement. AWESOME! Don't play musical instruments? Well, then there is a cool lounge in the basement with a stereo and huge plazma TV. Have rest, watch a movie, hang out with your friends.

Pembina Hall Residence

           Very nice lounge and calm place, it also has inside a buffet that in fact is accessible to anybody.
 Brand new residence, opened in 2011. To tell you the truth I like it for it's huge windows and the view out of them. Also they have a big and comfortable study room (which is opened to everybody who is living on campus). Rooms are very cool (really, I mean it)! Also there is a bathroom in every room. Every floor has a pretty lounge and the kitchen.

University College Residence

This Residence rocks and I'm telling this not because of I'm living here (ok ok, maybe because of that lol), but actually people here is very nice, there is a place to party, to study, to relax. Everything you can wish! It has a nice study room in the basement and a cool lounge with pool, aero hockey, sony play station and huge TV. It also has a large lounge with the piano in it. The most important thing that you should know about this particular residence is that it is connected to most of the buildings on campus by tunnels. UC residents can literally wear flipflops to go to class when it's -30. We are not super heroes, but we have super warm tunnels! 

Arthur Mauro V. Residence


I put this residence at the end of the list as only students who completed their first year at the university may apply for it. But still it's important to take it into the consideration if you are planning to live on campus after the first year of your studies.

One and huge difference of this rez is that it is apartment-style. And it means that every single unit of it is represented by two rooms and shared bathroom and the kitchen. So imagine a two-bedroom appartment to have a clear understanding of what AVM is.
A big plus for me are big double beds (you won't find those in any other residence).
One more thing that can appeal to you is a gym at the basement.
And to tell you the truth they have the prettiest laundry room...
Plus nice lounges, creative and cheerfull design and friendly atmosphere.


Here is another make-your-day picture, with all staff of ICM together happy of doing a great job for you.

Have a good one!
