🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 Unfortunately. This is one of those things that is ruined once you find out how it works. I lived here as a student my first year of college and absolutely loved the experience - the environment - and the lifelong friends that I made **This is MY experience, and cannot guarantee that it will be the same for you. As I know, of many who have had different encounters**. However, WORKING here during my second year, under a management that overworks its RA’s and still expects them to perform was ridiculous! Sometimes in a week, you can work from 50-70 hours (the highest I’ve worked was, I think, 54, but I knew of one of my colleagues working like, 72). And what are they gonna do - not pay you? We shouldn’t have been working those hours but we did it. And more often than you would think. They even go as far as scheduling front desk shifts WHILE you’re in class. What was the point of them requesting our schedules, and us giving it to them, if they were just gonna do their own thing and tell you it’s up to you to switch the shifts. “Student first” does NOT apply when they want to keep up their corporate appearance. Not to mention the GM, being involved with an RA… I mean seriously. Nobody would’ve cared if that’s what he wanted to do and was able to manage his personal and professional life. But unfortunately, he lacked the understanding of that line between, and it caused a lot of unnecessary drama and tension that could have just been avoided🙄😒. The management definitely needs to be reevaluated because CLEARLY their system of managing student workers isn’t working. I don’t know how you go from 14 RA’s in September to 3 by end of May… with none of us returning for Fall 2023. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: it’d be better to get a job at the mall (STC) that’s 10-15 minutes away by bus than work here. At least you’ll get reasonable part time hours that are actually KEPT and a bus depot on the property that will pick you up and drop you off safely. AND, most importantly, you’ll get to focus on being a student and enjoy those wonderful college experiences that you shouldn’t be missing out on.

This place seems nice at first. The rooms are good, but the rules they impose are ridiculous. They say no guest policy, however they check selectively, so certain individuals can bring guests. Seems like they have a certain resentment that they cannot bring guests themselves so they take it out on you. Moreover, amongst themselves they do not share information about residents. I had an agreement with one person about the move out date, but others didn’t not have this information so they kept bugging me about moving out during my exam. Also, the booking system for common rooms is terrible. You can book the room and then it turns out someone else booked it and it is occupied, so you can’t enjoy your time in common rooms. In addition, when I first moved in, I had bugs everywhere in my room so that should tell you something about how they clean (even during covid times). My friend had a problem with a thermostat, the temperatures in her room were 16 degrees and while she reported it, they never fixed it so she had to sleep in her coat for a week. Overall, If you want to have a feeling like you live in prison or a kindergarten, then you should definitely apply for the residence there.

I have been at Centennial place for 2 years and I have had such an incredible experience living here! My resident assistants in first year Eric and Gabi did such a good job at programming through the pandemic and making everyone feel involved even at a distance. Management is so supportive with questions or issues. Mathew and Steven were great at easing lots of worries my parents had with me staying away from home for the first time and made move in day so memorable. The staff are all just so incredibly kind and sweet and make everyone feel at home in the building.

I never wrote any google reviews, but I have to warn anyone that is considering living here. I asked for a early release from the agreement since I needed to move to another place, and the manager told me that I will receive my refund in 6-8 weeks. It’s already been 10 weeks but I haven’t receive anything. No refund, no apologies, no emails, just nothing. Apparently they just love to take your money!☺️ Not only that they don’t give you refund, they also secretly ask you parents to pay them 50 bucks for them to prepare “Christmas gifts” for their kids which only probably just cost 5 bucks!!😝Anyways, if you have too much money and don’t know where to spend, this is the perfect place to stay! I love it so much I want to give it 6 stars this is the extra one.

I have lived here for two years and I will never be coming back. The temperature regulation in the building is unacceptable, both years in April they refuse to turn on the AC because “it will be cold again” even though it is 30 degrees in my unit. Whenever I have a issue with something in my room and make a work order it takes weeks for them to get to it if they ever do. I complained about my blinds being broken and the worker just came to the unit, not even inside my room, and said that it wasn’t broken enough and not worth fixing. I also was supposed to have blackout blinds but my room just doesn’t have them. The sink in my bathroom has a terrible temperature control and it is impossible to get warm water out of it, it is either hot or cold. The layout of my room is inefficient and impossible to move the given furniture around to a more efficient layout, the room shouldn’t be built like this. I have also had problems with my Wifi especially over the past year. Lastly, and I would say this is the biggest issue, the room was dirty when I moved in. The floor wasn’t clean at all the surfaces on the desk and nightstand was filthy. Overall I think this is a bad place to stay for the price, since the amenities and the management are terrible. Do not move here.

Here is so amazing. I can have chance to eat different kinds of food in the world. In addition, you can have nice residence assistant to give your suggestions.Most importantly, you can have study room to study.What a perfect place it is! （Joey)

I’ve been a residence here for two years . The common spaces are great . The theatre room , games room , gym. The staff are friendly and they know how to manage the pandemic well . Staff create wonderful events . Thank you Eric for keeping things positive all the time. The house keeping keep everything clean . Barb is the best house keeper in my mind . These past Two years have been the best I had living here.

Centennial Place is the best place to live if you are new to Canada. This is my first year in Canada and unbelievably I feel at home. The location in Scarborough makes it appear to be an expensive place, but I believe it's worth it. My English got much better, I almost never felt lonely, I had fun, made many friends, and I learned a lot. The amenities of the building are also good. I do like this place.

I’ve lived at Centennial place for a year, the staff are great (my RA Eric Charbonneau is the best), building is really clean, maintenance orders are resolved quickly and efficiently. Centennial Place has great programs witch are always fun and a great way to make connections. The energy is always positive and the RAs do a great job of bringing the community together. As an international student, they have everything that I need, the leasing process was easy and they offer virtual tours of the building and units.

Overall I’d say I had a pretty good experience here. I got a great roommate, most of the events are really fun and you get to meet new people + try new things, staff are also pretty nice. My smoke detector ran out of battery at 2 am once and someone was sent up immediately to fix it. The maintenance workers are really nice and open for a chat while they help you out. The only issue I’d say that kind of bothers me is there are sometimes ants found around the dorm and I have no idea where they’re coming from and how they end up in our drawers. Sometimes the water also turns really cold and will stay like that for a little bit which is a little annoying, but not a huge issue. I’d say it’s a been a good experience, I definitely made a lot of good memories here.

DON'T LIVE HERE! Why not? I can explain. 1. It's too expensive. The price of rent is too high for this neighborhood and living conditions. 2. Dirty roommates. No point in complaining about them, staff don't do anything. 3. Dirty unit when you move in. 3. They don't answer your emails at all. 4. Constantly false fire alarms. 5. Inoperative heating and cooling system. 30 degrees is the normal temperature in April. 6. Noisy. 7. Stupid room layout. I would add more, but that should be enough to keep you from living here!

Unfortunately I wasnt able to secure a spot to live at centennial residence; however, I paid for the deposit which i was promised would be refunded to me. I have waited months for a refund with no luck, now Centennial Residence has gone completely unresponsive and I fear I just lost the money I paid to an institution that doesn’t care about helping me get the money that is rightfully owed to me. As an international student this is incredibly harmful to me and my finances, and I hope I will be able to bounce back from it somehow. This is my first ever negative review in any place ever, i prefer not saying anything rather than saying something negative, I just feel like its a well deserved review from an incredibly concerned student. Dont make the same mistake i made, make sure a spot is available before spending your money on applications or deposits, it will be incredibly hard to get back once you spend it.

I have moved around a lot but moving back to canada and deciding to live here is my biggest mistake.... there are so many flaws. First 2 of 9 months were okay but the rest of the 7 months were uncomfortable and painful. They make the place seem a lottt nicer in the pictures then it really is. It was dirty and the smoke detectors were broke in 2 rooms. The constantly false fire alarms either super early in the morning or late. The staff plays favourites on residents and some make you feel bad about yourself, however there are many very nice staff members. They also do not do anything about residents litterly STEALING from you... and you have to pay 250$ for a room switch so you just have to suffer in an uncomfortable environment because the leasing agreement is a trap where if you want to move out early, they don't give back the 500$ security deposit. The AC/Heat system is also very unstable and broke down a lot. anyways spend the same or less money on a much better place then here.

Waaaaay too overpriced. Rooms are quite small. Walls are paper thin so you cannot enjoy some quite, even if your roommates weren't shouting or anything. You have to pay for laundry. Gates are unnecessary and very annoying. On the positive side though, staff were very friendly and helpful. Printing was pretty much free. I would usually find paper in the copying machine.

I have been living here for over a year and plan to continue to stay for the duration of my program. The rooms are spacious enough. The amenities and advantages of living here are numerous and convenient. This semester, I've especially started participating more in the events at the residence and it's been so fun. My favourite events so far have been the ones hosted by the RA, Michael. He really has been the most helpful with minor issues and questions I've had about the use of the new delivery system and shared amenities; also super warm whenever I come across him in the building.

Great place to live, because the staff creates memorable experiences. I've had support and resources during my whole stay here and it is important to have a community environment that is there for you. I like the 24/7 Front Desk services, as well all the amenities are open all day.

It's nice in photos, but thats it. Their system is out of place too. Everything takes time and there is lack of coordination. I was asked to wait while I moved out because there was too many people checking out, but after I checked out, the residence deducted a 100 $ saying I was late! And it's been 2 months and I've still not got back my deducted deposit amount! Not impressed.

Pretty nice facility and very close to campus. The building is much more modern than most residences. They have a lot of amenity spaces to enjoy. Pricing is reasonable for Scarborough.

The only thing I want to tell u - you can find a good place instead of here. Otherwise, when I came here, disgusting kitchen and dropping oil from range hood! This is the most horrible place I lived before. You can smell mariguana and horrible music in the evening. By honestly, the most of employees are not friendly as well. They have many of ridiculous rules - for example the house cleaner will ask you take the garbage out of garbage bin. Is this should be your duty ok? If you have budget of 1100 dollars, you can find a fantastic place to live.

I was living in Centennial rez in year 2014 and they did not send my refund cheque of $3000 . I had to leave Centennial rez midway as i did not like their staff behaviour and they way they cheated me and took my money . At that time i was in hurry to go to next school and their manager Martha borowska kept my money with them . Centennial rez management has send my cheque on wrong address or they still have not send me the mail . Their front desk manager Martha said that they have send the cheque on wrong address or they have not send the cheque at all . I am now back in india and i suffered huge loss. Please give me back my money . I have send you mail also on the email provided on your website . The total amount is 3000$ but i have still not received it . The front desk manager was Martha at that time and i did not receive the cheque till now .

My experience at the centennial residence is amazing. Really friendly environment, the RAs are amazing especially Melisa and Abdul. They make our life easy at the residence :))

I really like the place when I came here first , definitely recommend it if you are new here and wanna make more friends , also the staff is friendly especially Jamilla at the front desk

I really like living here. The RAs are so kind and helpful, especially Jaequin and Haley! They make the experience of living in residence very fun.

Amazing hospitality from the RA staff. I must say that Tawana Dube is exceptional with her service and stands out. I’d recommend Centennial Residence to future students that need a place to stay.
