There are two campuses for the university—one in Halifax and one in Truro. Both on- and off-campus housing is preferred by students. Both conventional and unconventional home designs are offered in Halifax and Truro. Howe Hall, Shirreff Hall, Risley Hall, and O'Brien Hall all have dining areas. Both students and staff members use the numerous gardens and green areas on the Dalhousie campus. Due to the chilly weather in the winter, the university also offers a shuttle service to transport students from their residence halls to the main campus building.
