Chase Court
About Chase Court
"Chase Court is home; I was welcomed into this great community on move in day of my first year. Three years later I am still here and these walls hold nothing but great memories! It is always fun gathering a few friends and kicking a soccer ball around in the courtyard. Whether it is a house event or a just a hockey game on TV, there is always something going on and people are eager to get involved. Your friends quickly become your family and I cannot imagine a time without them. Chase Court is full of warm smiles and big hearts around every turn. I would like to personally welcome you into my our home and hope you fall in love with it much the same way that I did three years ago."

About Christofor Hall
"Christofor is among one of the most well rounded buildings on campus and a wonderful place to live during your university career. Living in Christofor in my final year at Acadia is one of the best decisions that I have made, and by far one of the best years I have had on campus. There is so much that this building can offer; diversity, tradition, comradery, and acceptance gives you a glimpse of what life in Christofor has offered me this year. I am going to deeply miss all of the amazing people I have had the pleasure of living with over the past 8 months; we started as neighbours and left as family. There is a strong tradition of pride within the brother buildings of Christofor and Eaton and you develop a lifelong bond among your fellow EC family."

Crowell Tower
About Crowell Tower
"I moved into Crowell Tower at the beginning of my 2nd year and was immediately welcomed by its friendly, diverse community. Each residence has its own special flavour, and Tower is renowned for its strong community. I love the circular floor layout because it makes it easy to meet new people and build lasting friendships. It's no wonder Tower has won Acadia's "Community of the Year" award so many times! Conveniently located next to Acadia's largest student parking lot, only steps away from meal hall, and a short walk from classes, Tower's location is superb. While the building hasn't been recently renovated, it proudly makes up for the vintage decor by boasting the best built-in storage space on campus, affordable pricing, unparalleled charm and personality, and the best view in the Annapolis Valley. I am honoured to call Tower home."

Dennis House
About Dennis House
"Dennis House produced the most positive and exciting memories of my time at Acadia - I lived in Dennis for my entire undergraduate career, and loved every minute of it! Dennis is perfectly located right next to meal hall, and residents enjoy some of the best views on campus from its spacious floor lounges. D-House residents are known for their strong community (celebrated annually during Dennis Pride Week), their powerhouse Green Machine intramural teams and their contagious Welcome Week cheers. With its many double rooms and a yearly influx of first-year students, Dennis has a distinctive energy and spirit which, in my opinion, are unmatched by any other house on campus. Enjoy your stay!"

Eaton House
About Eaton House
"Eaton House can be considered many things to many different people but among these would be a fun, inclusive, and supportive place to call home. I lived in Eaton House during my first year at Acadia and I couldn't be happier to have returned to this building for my final year. Eaton and Christofor(EC) are situated right next to each other and both offer social communities, many open doors, and great events! I've made many memories from meeting some of my best friends, celebrating the many traditions that being a "Raider" offers, and the unique sense of pride that unites the residents of the building. Regardless of where you come from or who you are, Eaton House is a place that you can learn, develop, and grow, creating memories that will last a lifetime. I know that my final year at Acadia would not have been the amazing journey it was if it weren't for the diverse group of people that I was surrounded by. I will look back fondly, years from now, at the friends that quickly became my family in the place that we call home."

About Seminary House
"Seminary House (or “Sem”) is a beautiful building with an amazing history. Built in 1878, Sem is the oldest operating residence in Canada. It is a registered national historic site, having been the place where, in 1884, a Seminary student named Clara Belle Marshall became the first woman in the British Empire to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree! Sem’s rooms are spacious with high ceilings and big windows. A number lucky students even have hardwood floors and pristine views of the Bay of Fundy, home to the highest tides in the world! Choose to live in Sem and you’ll find the walk back to your room is often accompanied by the sounds of any number of talented music students practicing their instruments! To top it all off, Sem is host to an annual Haunted House which draws guests from across campus and around the town of Wolfville! Frankly, I can’t imagine a more interesting place to live!"

Whitman House
About Whitman House
"I spent my final year at Acadia living in Whitman House, which is commonly known around campus as Tully. I was blown away by how much I fell in love with it's beautiful architecture, fun traditions, and the wonderful group of girls I lived with. Tully's central location was also something I really appreciated - especially during the winter! My favourite event was the annual Tully Tea where current residents and Tully alumni are invited to have tea and share stories with each other. I felt such a strong sense of comfort, community, and support while living in Tully. I was so proud to have been able to call my home for the year."
