Waterloo University Colleges, Ontario

Four residential colleges are affiliated with the University of Waterloo: St. Paul’s, Renison, Conrad Grebel, and St. Jerome’s. The Waterloo colleges are corporately independent of the university, as the Oxford and Cambridge colleges are, and although each has a church affiliation they are open any Waterloo student without regard to religious interest or church membership. These informal photos by Robert J. O’Hara were taken during a speaking visit to Waterloo as a guest of St. Paul’s College and its principal, Dr. Graham Brown. For more information about the residential colleges please visit the main Collegiate Way page.
