Stay On-Site (at Tyndale)
Live like a college student, and embrace the simple and affordable option of staying onsite. Staying onsite means once you find yourself at Tyndale, you can stay, and you won’t have to navigate Toronto traffic. It may also enhance your experience by allowing for extra connecting and visiting (and for the introverts, it will allow you to retreat as often as needed to your room).
Single Rooms and Double Rooms are available.
First-come, first-serve for booking.
Linens are provided. Some rooms have private/attached washrooms, others are shared. All showers are shared. No bunk beds.
