From the UPEI website: public liberal arts and science institution, UPEI is committed to encouraging and fostering critical, creative, and independent thinking. Whether our students were born and raised on PEI or have chosen the Island as their "home away from home," we encourage them to embrace the community - to become involved. We want them to experience learning within, and also beyond, the classroom.

Just minutes from sandy beaches and the downtown core of the capital city of Charlottetown, the 130-acre campus features nine academic buildings (including the new K.C. Irving Chemistry Centre), three residences, a dining hall, library, chaplaincy centre, day care, the Young Canada Games Sports Centre, the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, and several research institutes.

Housing: All of our residence rooms are equipped with high speed internet, telephone and cable services and each residence has study areas, TV lounges, laundry facilities and snack machines. We set quiet hours every day for study and sleep. Security staff are in residence between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. and a residence staff member is on 24-hour duty. We have three on-campus residences, all recently refurbished: Holy Cross House ( predominantly female); Vanier Hall (female); and Harrington Hall (predominantly male). Two the the three residences are equipped for students with disabilities.
