St. Paul's University College

Story

St. Paul's University College (formerly St. Paul's United College) is an affiliated institution of the University of Waterloo, located in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The college has two functions: first, it is a residence for both undergraduate and graduate students of the University; and, second, it offers classes to all University students. St. Paul's is home to: the Waterloo Aboriginal Education Centre, which offers support services for Aboriginal students; St. Paul's GreenHouse, a live-in social innovation community and business incubator; and hotel-style guest rooms for visitors.HistorySt. Paul's was founded in 1962 by the United Church of Canada (UCC) and first opened its doors to students in 1963. The UCC's goal was to provide a place where students of any background, denomination, religion, or academic program could come to study and be stimulated academically, intellectually, and spiritually. The College now operates independently of UCC as a legacy corporation with no formal or legal relationship.ResidencesSt. Paul's has residences at 190 and 196 Westmount Rd. North. St. Paul's has two residence communities: the undergraduate residence and the Apartment Building. Undergraduate students in the Environment Faculty may be part of the popular Living-Learning Community, which provides academic support from Peer Leaders and upper-year students.Undergraduate residenceThe undergraduate residence opened in 1963 and houses 192 students on eight "floors." Seven of these floors - Empire, Wildside, Penthouse, Alcatraz, Dungeon, Oasis, and La Bastille - contain double accommodation and have been in use since the opening of the college. The remaining floor, Purgatory, opened in September, 2003 and has single accommodation. Empire was formerly known as Apathy, La Bastille was formerly known as Olympus, and Wildside was formerly known as W5 (Wild Wonderful Women of the West Wing).

Do not live here. There are more affordable, cleaner condos with more convenient bus service close to campus. - The rooms are very small (similar size to luxe at 333 king but much poorer condition). It is really cold in the winter since the highest temperature is fixed (hydro is free). I really would rather to pay the bills than freezing inside. - The corridor always smells like fish. - The reception people clearly do not know how to do things properly since May 2017. I lost parcels twice. - The person (building manager?) in charge is very rude, unprofessional. He creates toxic atmosphere by yelling at tenants

Nice location and nice food. But if you ever made payment without proof, you are likely to get fined again even if you did pay. You will be forced to pay again having your course selection for the next term as a hostage. You have to abide by their demand without any transparent investigation that you can know and then you have to pay because a person there just simply said "they investigated". And they will not tell you that you have to pay for like half a year later after you probably don't remember all the things that had occurred. If you try to prove, demand for reports, and discuss the situation, the responsible staff will make false note of conversation and send an email as if that was the actual conversation (which is nothing like an audio record I kept). The double payment you make to lift your hostage as they demand will never be refunded. So just a word of warning, if you ever have to make a payment when there is no staff in front of you there to ask for receipt, just don't pay until you can make a credit transfer or with your debit card. Otherwise, you will be treated like a dangerous person once you want to come to look through reports of "the" investigations that was claimed to be done.

The tenants in this building do not follow any rules. They make noise and do not respect the quite hours. The St Paul's responsible office does not try to change this very bad situation and unfortunately the problems remain unsolved. Avoid this place if you want to sleep and study. The floors are old and when the people of the above units walk you hear everything. The common areas (lounge, tv room) are not locked at the quite hours and the apartments next to these areas suffer......from noise. The corridors always smell food and in the past many fire alarm problems were observed. The elevator (only 1) takes too much time to be used. During the winter the building is very very cold. The thermostats in the units are set to a certain temperature and it cannot be increased. Every year the price of the rent is increased and the services are decreased. I have no good things to say....about this building.

Fantastic, closely knit community focused on promoting great relationships between all students and the staff that work there. The food is absolutely wonderful, and the full meal plan provides you with 5 meals a day! Definitely worth the obligatory steep cost of living in residence for your first year of university. Updated facilities and a homey feel to the buildings make you miss the place after you've left. Great memories made here!
