Housing Information for Graduate History Students

Hi! Each year the GHSA receives questions from incoming students regarding housing, where to find it, and what to expect. We have set up this site to help get you started on finding your new home here in Kingston.

Here you will find:
- some advertisements from members of the department
- links to other Housing sites within the University and Community

For additional information, or if you are in need of some additional guidance, please contact Mary Chaktsiris.
