Student Life
The majority of Briercrest College students live in residence and participate in a school meal plan in a dining hall operated by Sodexo.
The college dormitories have a history of being named after people who have had significant impact throughout the history of the schools. Current dormitories at Briercrest include:
- Isabel Whittaker (women), often called "Whit"
- Sinclair Whittaker (men), often called "Whit"
- Hillson Hall (women, high school)
- Bergren Place (women)
- Sundbo Place (married students, women, and men over 21 years of age)
- Lewis Apartments (men), known fondly as "LA"
- Eliason Manor (men) built in 2005
- Glen Manor (men, high school)
- Brygmann Hall (men, closed), often known as "Brygg"
The last of the war-building dormitories, known most recently as Gable Heights, was demolished in summer 2005.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“Whoever influences the child’s life ought to try to give him a positive view of himself and of his world. The child’s future happiness and his ability to cope with life and relate to others will depend on it.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
