Graduate housing includes a seven-storey apartment block and three small apartment buildings. All are located within a short walking distance of the main campus.

Each apartment has its own bathroom and kitchen with refrigerator, stove, dining table and chairs. Other furnishings include: a single-sized bed and mattress, desk and study chair, dresser, bookshelf, night table, and vertical blinds (furnishings may vary depending on room size). Electricity, hot water, heating, and Internet are included in the rent.

There is a variety of graduate housing with shared facilities. For example, students can live in a former coach house of one of the largest mansions in Montreal's 鈥淕olden Square Mile鈥� or a number of brownstone mansions featuring wood paneling, decorative moldings and elaborate ornamental fireplaces. This type of housing offers graduate students the privacy of their own bedroom along with the benefits of communal living such as large kitchens and common rooms where housemates gather to dine and watch TV.

91社区 offers all-female, all-male and co-ed graduate accommodation.
