As incoming students, we realize that you may have queries and for this purpose we intend to provide you with some important information listed below. For further questions please do not hesitate to contact us. Where am I going to live? OK... finally..., after applying, getting accepted, traveling all the way
(or preparing to travel), now you are probably asking yourself, where
will I live? or where do I get reasonably priced accommodation that is close
to the campus and to other brothers?. To help you find a place, the Muslim
Student Association will post your information and requirements on our
website or circulate it to our mailing list, to see if there are vacancies
among our brothers. So, you should contact us

OK...now that you almost getting settle, you most likely think what next am I supposed to do? If you are an international students, to begin with, it is important that you attend the orientation program sponsored by the international student programs and services. Further details on this can be found at ISAO's office. Also, the Muslim Students Association usually hosts an orientation session at the beginning of fall (September) semester. So, if your arrival is for this semester, endeavour to attend this session, as it is aimed at getting you familiar with the services offered by MSA and FIA. Where do I pray? Alhamdulillah UNB Student Union has provided us with a mussallah so that Muslim students can offer their daily prayers. The mussallah is located at the back side of the LBR residence under the name "Multi Faith Room". We hold the weekly Juma'a prayers at the mussallah. However if the students wish they can offer their Juma'a prayer at the Masjid (130 lincoln road). Where can I get Halal food? Alright, here is something we all look forward to. Good and halal food! For a list of grocery outlets, please refer to the following information below (or visit FIA's website):
