Between back-to-back classes and trying to maintain a social life, your apartment should be the one place that actually makes your day easier. At Unity Place and Unity Point, we’ve set things up so you don’t have to overthink the logistics of daily life. From where you study to how you spend your downtime, it’s all about working the system to your advantage.
Whether you’re just moving into our student apartments in Kingston or you’ve been here all year, here are a few ways to get the most out of the Unity lifestyle.
1. The “Dual-Building” Advantage
The best part of living here? You aren’t stuck in one spot. When you live at Unity, you have an all-access pass to the amenities at both Unity Place and Unity Point. If your favorite study nook is taken in one building, just walk a few blocks to the other. Having two sets of rooftop lounges and fitness centers is a major perk of our Queens University off-campus housing.
2. Sunrise Sessions in the Fitness Centre
A 24/7 rooftop fitness centre changes the game. Early mornings are quieter, the downtown Kingston views are energizing, and you can be back in your suite within minutes.
No commute. No extra membership. Just efficient wellness built into your routine while living in our apartments near Queen’s University.
3. Study Rooms: Beyond the Books
Our private and group study rooms are designed for focus, but they are also perfect for project collaboration. If you’re working on a group presentation, book a room early in the week to ensure your team has a professional, quiet space to practice. Being so close to campus makes it easy to host a group session that actually gets things done.
4. Fully Furnished Flexibility
One of the biggest stress-savers in our Kingston student housing is walking into a place that’s already set up. Since our units are fully furnished, you don’t have to deal with the hassle of moving heavy sofas or buying a bed. The hack here? Use the extra time and money you saved on furniture to invest in small touches that make the space yours—like plants, a great rug, or some smart lighting to dial in the mood.
5. The Wellness Studio Reset
When the mid-semester grind gets heavy, the wellness studio is the move. Whether you’re into yoga or just need a quiet place to stretch and breathe, it’s designed to be a sanctuary. It’s a great way to clear your head without ever having to leave the building.
6. Pet-Friendly Perks
Finding student apartments in Kingston that actually welcome your four-legged friends can be a challenge. At Unity, we love our resident pets. Take advantage of the nearby parks and waterfront trails for your morning walk. It’s a great way to de-stress, and you’ll likely meet a few fellow pet-owners from the building along the way.
7. In-Suite Laundry Optimization
Having in-suite laundry is a massive time-saver. A quick tip: run your loads during your designated study blocks. By the time you’ve finished a chapter, your clothes are ready for the dryer—no more hanging out in a basement laundromat waiting for a machine to open up.
8. Location-Based Socializing
Living downtown means you’re never far from the action. Use the shared social spaces to host a low-key hangout before heading out to Princess Street.

Your time at university should be spent making memories, not worrying about the small stuff. At Unity, we provide the space and the perks so you can focus on the bigger picture. Ready to see what reimagined living looks like? Discover your new home in the heart of Kingston.
