This centrally-located residence is one block from McGill Campus!

Living at RVC brings you close to practically everything you need. Not only are you minutes away from Montreal's centre-ville, you are also immediately across the street from lower/main campus. This ideal location means that you can wake up late and still make it to class on time!

Founded in 1899, Royal Victoria College was originally the women's college of McGill, where women both lived and studied. Today it is home to students from all over the world.

The building itself has two wings: the older West Wing (constructed in 1931), and the newer Roscoe Wing (built in 1964). There are several common rooms in the hall, including a TV lounge that serves as a meeting place for people who want to chat, watch movies, or just hang out.

The students at RVC help create a vibrant and exciting environment. The hall has its own in-house council which organizes events such as day trips to Quebec City and movie marathons. The residents, while separated in distance from the other halls, are far from isolated: the Council is well integrated with those of the Bishop Mountain Residences, Solin Hall and MORE.

Residents of RVC enjoy the convenience of a newly-renovated cafeteria located in-house, and can take comfort in knowing that security is provided 24 hours per day. There is no curfew and guests are welcome in the hall, provided they are accompanied by a resident.
