A Home for Every Stage of Student Life

Koto is redefining student living at Simon Fraser University. This new residence has not only been designed in a way that maximizes your comfort, but also enhances your entire university experience. Whether you’re a first-year student, part way through your undergraduate studies, or pursuing a master’s degree, you’ll feel at home here.

Move-In Ready Homes for Undergraduate Students

For many students, the first year of university can be challenging. You’re navigating an unfamiliar campus, managing a busy workload, and trying to meet new people; it’s a lot to balance, and your student housing shouldn’t make it feel more difficult.

Koto simplifies every aspect of student living from the moment you arrive—and even before then. A roommate matching program pairs you with students whose lifestyles and routines are similar to your own, while fully furnished suites eliminate the stress of moving. Students who are nervous about communal bathrooms and laundry facilities can relax knowing they only need to share these spaces with a maximum of three roommates. And since WiFi and utilities are included in the rent, you can focus on settling into university life rather than worrying about extra bills.

The building also has a social lounge, gym, and outdoor terrace where you can take a break from studying and connect with fellow residents. This is where the next chapter of your story truly begins.

Thoughtfully Designed Homes for Postgraduate Students

If you’re a postgraduate, the university experience looks a little different—and so do your student housing needs. More than just a place to stay during the school year, you want a home that’s comfortable, convenient, and complementary to your lifestyle.

That’s exactly what you’ll find at Koto. With a mix of 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, and 4-bedroom units, you have the flexibility to live independently or with roommates in a beautiful, modern space. Warm wood details, soft colours, and contemporary furniture invite you to unwind after a long day of seminars, and in-suite kitchens and laundry allow you to do chores on your own schedule.

When deadlines are looming, residents can head down to the co-working space, where private study pods help eliminate distractions. Those juggling school and part-time jobs will also appreciate that the building has access to car sharing, making commuting between campus, work, and home easy. Here, you can devote less energy to the logistics of everyday life and more to your academic and professional success.

No matter where you are in your university career, there’s a home waiting for you at Koto. Apply today.
