“In the summer, the days were long, stretching into each other. Out of school, everything was on pause and yet happening at the same time, this collection of weeks when anything was possible.”

–Sarah Dressen

Don’t just attend Bishop’s: live it

Residence is far more than just a room or suite on campus. It’s where the founding of your Bishop’s family starts, and where your Bishop’s Experience truly begins.

Living on Campus

Over 175 years of excellence

Bishop’s is a predominantly residential, mostly undergraduate university. Our primary concern is offering students a quality education in the fine arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, business and education. The residential aspect and our relatively modest size (about 2,900 full-time students) encourages students to immerse themselves in the complete Bishop’s experience.
