Our established programs link Brock students with universities on six continents. Exchanges are a great way for Brock students to study outside Canada and learn more about the world, for one or two terms as part of their Brock degree. The Student Exchange Program is open to students with a minimum 70% average. There are also many Study Abroad programs for students wishing to gain shorter-term international experiences. These may be offered during Reading weeks, spring or summer terms. Brock International Services also organizes short-term international experiential learning programs such as Brock Abroad: Namibia & South Africa and Brock Abroad: Florida. They are also a resource for international internship and work abroad opportunities, as well as providing pre-departure training workshops and sessions for all Brock students taking part in any Brock-approved international learning program. |

Brock encourages its students to participate in the Student Exchange Program at universities in other countries. The overall objective of these programs is to promote international understanding and co-operation at the University, while the specific objective is to assist students in all disciplines to broaden their education by earning full university credits and by living in another culture. Brock is partnered with both English speaking and none-English speaking countries. This program is administered by International Services and by specific academic departments. As well, some departments offer international field courses. Through Brock's programs, students can become international scholars for little more than it costs to study at Brock. All exchange students pay their tuition fees to Brock. Brock provides travel awards to students demonstrating financial need ($500 to students registered full-time in the Student Exchange Program for each academic term; $1000 for both terms). Brock students can continue to access their OSAP and Canada Student Loan plans, while studying abroad on this Program. Participants must normally apply as full-time students during their second year of study, have a mininum B average and meet the pertinent language and other academic requirements.Though some of Brock's exchange partner institutions have a different nominal credit weight for a year of study, a Brock student who is enrolled on exchange as a full-time student in a degree program at an international partner institution, and successfully completes pre-approved courses, will be granted 5.0 credits for a year abroad, or 2.5 credits for a semester abroad. Course selection for exchange programs must be done well in advance of departure, in consultation with International Services and the relevant academic department. Students interested in taking part in international programs should consider enrolling in the Minor in Intercultural Studies, which may be combined with a Major program of the student's choice. An updated list of exchange opportunities and international field courses can be found at: brocku.ca/international-services/exchanges-study-abroad. For more information on the Goodman School of Business exchange programs, please consult bus.brocku.ca/exchange. |

The Brock residence system can accommodate approximately 2,500 students on campus in various styles of accommodation: traditional dorms, semi-suite, townhouses and suites (apartments). Students living in the traditional or semi-suite residences are accommodated in "halls" or "houses", (typically with 40-60 students) and must purchase a residence meal plan. Those living in townhouses share a unit with two, three, or four other students and have the option to purchase a meal plan or do their own cooking. The suite style residence is reserved for senior students where three or four students share an apartment. DeCew (traditional) and Lowenberger (semi-suite) residences have accommodations in single and double (shared) rooms and both of these buildings contain a residence dining hall; Vallee and Earp residences (semi-suite) are all single rooms. Students living in the above residences eat most meals in the residence dining halls, but there are other food outlets on campus. All traditional and semi-suite residences have common lounges and study rooms, as well as laundry facilities. The townhouses combine the independence of townhouse living with the convenience of location and inclusion in residence activities and events. There are two townhouse complexes: Village and Quarry View. Each unit in the Village typically accommodates five students: three in single rooms and two share a double room. Quarry View is all single rooms with three and four bedrooms units. Both complexes have laundry facilities. Gateway Suites is exclusively for upper year, returning students and graduate students. Senior students live in three or four bedroom apartments with two full bathrooms, in-suite laundry machines, a living room and a kitchen with dishwasher. All bedrooms in Gateway are single rooms. Gateway residents can extend their stay to include Spring/Summer term contracts either before or after the traditional eight month academic year. Residence rooms are furnished with basic necessities and all have wireless internet connectivity. There are two 24/7 Service Desks to provide support to the residence community. Residence life is monitored and facilitated by the Residence Life Staff. The RLS are upper year students who are assigned responsibility for sections (house, hall, court, block) within each residence complex (except Gateway Suites which has a Community Assistant). The RLS endeavours to create a sense of community within the residences. Also, they are available to answer questions, assist with any challenges and provide direction. The residences provide opportunities for residents to get involved by participating in activities and events; and volunteering for positions on the Residence Action Councils. Also, there are several Living Learning Communities - small clusters of students living within a larger residence community and organized around either a common interest (e.g. volunteerism) or academic program (e.g. concurrent education). The majority of beds within the residence system are assigned to Incoming Year One students. All Incoming Year One students are guaranteed a place in residence; however, certain conditions apply, such as meeting application and application fee deadlines. There are a limited number of rooms available for students with accessibility needs. Special housing needs should be indicated when applying to residence and discussed with both the Department of Residences and Student Accessibility Services. |

The majority of services are offered on an individual basis, however we do offer information sessions on various topics. Why Students Seek Counselling: There are many reasons why a student chooses to make an appointment with one of our counsellors: Some students seek help with specific concerns related to relationships, stress/anxiety, low mood, self-confidence, loneliness, sexuality, weight pre-occupation, grief etc. Others bring less clearly defined problems such as low motivation/energy or a feeling that things just aren't right. We also see students who are looking for an objective person to talk to about things such as making an important decision in their life or who are worried about the behaviour of a friend, family member or roommate. With counselling support, most students not only resolve their immediate concerns, but also learn useful skills for dealing with future issues. If something is bothering you, there is someone who can help. You are not alone. Our counsellor/therapists offer free confidential, professional counselling. We are here to help you sort things out. |
