As part of joining our private student residence, our members receive weekly updates about the community, upcoming events, developments in the student residence and any other relevant news. We've decided to post these updates on our website in order to let our visitors looking for student housing get an inside view of the Chelsea House student life!
Welcome back to the CH Show!!! 📺 - This is the weekly update to keep you abreast of what’s good in Montreal, the city we love ❤️, as well as updates from your beloved student residence community 🏡 (and another benefit is this keeps parents back home jealous at all times & updated enough not to blow up your phones lol❤️🙏 ).
This is it, CFam! Congratulations on making it through the end of the semester! 👏🏻Phew, time has gone by so fast didn't it? 🥹 Sadly, this also means that for most of you, it's time to pack up and head back home ✈️
While it can be bittersweet leaving behind the friends and memories you've made over the past few months, take these last remaining days as your chance to unwind and recharge before starting a new semester (or career)! It's the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. As they say, the world is your oyster! What an exciting time full of endless possibilities!!! 💪🏻
Now, back to business. Here’s the latest news and updates from the best student housing family!

CHELSEA HOUSE COMMUNITY VIBES UPDATE
- Impromptu Picnic with the CFam 🧺
After a day packed with back-to-back move-out inspections, our ever reliable Manager of Operations, Steph thought, "Hmm. The sun is out and it's a beautiful afternoon to spend a fun and lazy afternoon in the park 🤔".
After a quick and easy-peasy planning, the gang gathered and walked over to the park. Thanks to a few cans of Seltzers, snacks, a Spike Ball set, and a surprise visit from former CH members, the impromptu picnic and game day with the CFam was a huge success!!

- Trash Talk: Roomies' Garbage Duty Sched Issues - SOLVED!
We know, we know. Nobody likes taking out the trash 🗑️ and if you add the factor of living with 2 or three other people in the apartment, things could get messy 🫢 But... Apt 18 roomies (Bibi 🇫🇷, Clément 🇨🇭, Max 🇦🇹, and Lucas 🇫🇷) came up with a GENIUS and fun way to solve this age-old problem - if you don't take out the trash, BEERS 🍻 for all the other roomies are on you
(Bibi and Clément from Apt 18 👆🏻)
Needless to say, we are impressed (and grateful) 🙏🏻!!! Not only does this method ensure that everyone shares the responsibility equally, but it also eliminates the need for constant reminders and arguments among roommates. Plus, it's a fun way to keep track of who's up next and who's already done their part.
So if you're having the same issue with roommates and struggling to divide up the chores fairly, why not give this system a try? 😉 You might just find that it makes your living situation a whole lot more harmonious. Maybe you don't realize it but this, guys and gals is the essence of "co-living" and we are so so proud to see you all doing your part without us ordering and policing over you 🥹 Keep it up, CFam!!! 💪🏻

HOUSE UPDATES
REMINDERS 🚨
Accountability 🙏🏻
Okay, we get it. It's the end of the semester and everyone's in party-mode. Trust us, we support you 100% in making the most out of your remaining days at CH and for some, in the city.
However, we would like to remind you that there are a lot of ways to have fun without causing any harm to the other members and/or our lovely premium student residence. However, we do acknowledge that from time to time, things happen and all we ask is honesty and accountability.
Recently, we've received reports of broken things around the building (i.e. pool cue, ceiling lamp, etc.). We would highly appreciate it if and when these incidents occur, every member would be responsible enough to own up to it and reach out to us immediately to save some precious time looking through camera footages 📹
Thank you for your cooperation, CFam 🙏🏻
