Student Housing On-campus housing

First year students entering straight from high school can apply online to stay in the University Hall traditional-style dorms, or in one, two, four or six bedroom apartments in Kainai House. These are fully furnished rooms, so expect to find a bed (with captain’s storage space), a desk and a place to hang your clothes. Staying in Campus Housing is a great way to get to know people as you can get involved in activities with ORS (Organization of Residence Students), or just by hanging out in the numerous common areas watching TV or playing games. You won’t have to worry about grocery shopping, cooking every meal, or cleaning up, as you’ll be purchasing a Food Services dining plan. There are shared kitchen spaces in the U-Hall dorms so that you can cook a few light snacks. If you live in the Kainai apartments, you will purchase a reduced dining plan, as you will have access to full kitchen facilities.

Additional housing amenities Most residence areas are equipped with common rooms, games rooms, study and meeting areas, coin-operated or swipe card laundry centres and activity centres.

Off-campus housing

One of the benefits to living in a city divided by a river is that the entire west side, where the U of L is located, features extensive off-campus housing close to campus. Since the majority of our students live on the west side, it’s practically an extension of residence. When you’re out and about you’re bound to run into other students (or even your professors) at the local grocery store, restaurant or park.

For more information on housing and dining plans, visit www.uleth.ca/housing www.uleth.ca/food

The north and south sides of Lethbridge also feature many housing options, as well as the majority of the city’s shopping, restaurants and entertainment venues. No matter what area you choose to live in, you’re never more than a 15-minute drive away from campus.

Demand is high for residence and applications are accepted online starting September 15 for the following fall semester. Apply early at www.uleth.ca/housing/onlineservices.

The U of L manages an off-campus housing list, which you can find by visiting www.uleth.ca/offcampushousing.

In the classroom, we’ll focus on teaching you how to learn so that if you hit the workforce a month, a year, or even five years after graduation, you’ll be prepared with the knowledge and skills required for whatever life throws at you.

Co-op is available to all Arts, Science and Management majors.

Next, students will participate in hands-on learning in the lab while assisting their professors or completing their own research. Independent studies are available to all majors.

International Exchanges

Students have the opportunity to spend time studying abroad at one of our many partner institutions around the world.

This option typically takes five years, but you will graduate with two degrees. Completing two degrees at once will allow you to study two areas you are passionate about. Check with your Faculty advisor for more information about these programs.

Applied Studies

With an applied study, you can get course credit for work and volunteer experience, whether it’s related to your degree or not. It’s a great way to learn from your personal experiences and build a great resume. Applied studies are available for all majors.

We’re here to help you with this journey; you are a name, not just a number. We’re here to help you discover your passion and give you the confidence to go anywhere.

The sky is the limit for University of Lethbridge professor Dr. Jason Laurendeau. His research on risk in the Department of Sociology has allowed him to develop skills that you wouldn’t normally think of as central to sociological study, like leaping from cavern-spanning bridges – on purpose!

Jason “stumbled” upon sociology as a way to incorporate a number of research interests when he began to think about graduate work. “At the top level, my interests revolve around risk, gender and emotion, as well as deviance and social control,” he notes.

“The first real substantive topic that I became interested in was risk sport and skydiving in particular, and that’s largely because I was involved in skydiving at the time,” he says.

For students, Jason believes that the University of Lethbridge’s approach to teaching promises benefits that will break social stereotypes about the relationship between students and professors.

It wasn’t long before Jason adopted buildings, antennae, spans (bridges) and earth (cliffs) (BASE) jumping as one of his main topics of research in the sociology of sport.

“At the U of L, we don’t just give lip service to teaching – it’s supported and recognized. As a result, professors are passionate, committed and invested.”

The sport of BASE jumping was an obvious choice as far as risk was concerned. It was also a logical choice for Jason to look at risk specifically in the context of sport, because his first degree was in Kinesiology.

And in the end, students benefit, says Jason. “Faculty are doing cutting-edge research in their areas, but they’re also excited about sharing it with students.”

“At the U of L, we don’t just give lip service to teaching – it’s supported and recognized. As a result, professors are passionate, committed and invested.” Dr. Jason Laurendeau Professor of sociology
