This place is a scam. Small shoebox rooms, bland meal service, prices through the roof, if you're a student and considering coming here, it's comparable to living in a juvenile detention center both in value, size, and food quality. Go literally anywhere else, and you'd get a better value.
I'm here on full scholarship, and I would still run far, far away from this place. Fire alarms every other day, you're paying $2000 for a sketchers shoe box room and absolutely bland kitchen nightmares food. Water goes brown a lot of the time.
STAY AWAY. I've lived in 3 different residences across the world and this is by far the worst one I've ever lived at by a long mile.
When you prepay for the food plan, they have no incentive to give you edible food. The meal plan, which is MANDATORY, is $700, 30% of the cost you'll pay if you stay here in the cheapest option. Bland pasta, undercooked pizza, overcooked burgers which taste like a hockey puck made of charcoal.
They pretend to listen but make no tangible change. They'll probably put the same copy-paste response they do on every negative review, instead of making any actual improvement.
Save yourself $2000 a month and get yourself a studio instead.

There are endless reasons as to why you should not stay here.
1. Insanely high prices
2. Tiny rooms
3. Useless and rude management
4. Elevators constantly break down
5. The “security” does nothing
6. Awful food
7. Frequent fire alarms
8. Whatever rules McGill sets apply to all residents, even those who do not go to McGill despite Campus1 not being a McGill residence
9. Water often turns brown, stops working, or the hot water isn’t working
And so, so much more.

Please do not stay here, it is really the worst student building I have ever lived in. The food is bad with small portions. It is currently midterm season, the most stressful season of a university student's life, and Campus1 had two false fire alarms today in the winter - one of them being at 11:30 pm. They also had a 4 am fire alarm once and their elevators are constantly "under maintenance" or breaking down randomly and the stairs are closed unless for fire alarms, so if you have a midterm and get stuck on the elevator, best of luck.

This place is really such a sham. If you can DO NOT LEASE HERE. Rent is through the roof, especially when you consider what you have to put up with. The rooms were assembled VERY poorly. There are issues with the base boards, walls, and floor. That is not even mentioning how the thermostats don't even work. They will send maintenance a couple of times per semester if you complain enough (they won't do anything unless you complain a lot) and maintenance will "fix" the issue just to have to heat/ac not work the next week. The plumbing is also a major issue here. At the beginning of the year, there were a number of instances where the sewer water backflowed into our bathtubs and sinks. The sinks barely drain, which often leads the sink to become very dirty. The security guards here seem to be more interested to get students in trouble for minor infractions rather than ensuring a safe atmosphere in residence. Bottom line, if you can avoid Campus1, do so at all costs.

DO NOT COME HERE. I'm confused how nobody is talking about the scam this cafeteria is. We pay $745 per month which is A LOT of money on food and let me tell you that this is absolutely not enough to eat for a month here. With the $745 a month you will only get 2 meals per day max and they will be VERY small portion. So you will have to pay extra and most likely pay closer to $1000 PER MONTH on food if you want to eat properly. This is a crazy amount of money just for food. THEIR SOLE GOAL IS TO DRAIN THE MONEY OUT OF YOU.
Edit: They also fraudulently make you scan your cafeteria card twice sometimes and actually charge you TWICE. I was able to find this out only because I asked for receipts. Otherwise I would never have known. Always check before you scan your cafeteria card twice because it's way too easy for them to just tell you to do it twice.
