Why? On the campus, there were almost only first year student, whereas I was in my penultimate year ! the cohabitation was sometimes fun but I'd rather be in a house/appartement close to the campus
Personal comments:
you get used to the sharing, we really don't know that in France, that's a good thing, but there were cleanliness issues and noise !

Why? On-campus residence is a must for first-timers at University of Ottawa. Once you've been there, though, you'd rather look for a more independent way of life -maybe moving in an apartment downtown with former Residence people from your floor!
Personal comments:
There is a serious shortage in housing on campus, so you should apply early for it, and insist! All shared facilities residences are pretty much the same, and you have easy access to laundry, café, security... Residence life is friendly and informal. That's where you'll probably meet your best friends.
