This was my first year living at Hoem and it was a wonderful experience. The staff are all very friendly and eager to help when there is a need...

HOEM on Jarvis is honestly such a great place to live. The building is always clean and well taken care of, and the overall vibe feels super safe and welcoming. The events hosted here are amazing; there’s always something fun going on that helps you meet people and feel part of a community.

HOEM is a wonderful place to live if you are a student looking for a social living experience. There are many events being run basically daily so there is always something to do and somewhere to meet people...

I would highly recommend taking up residence at HOEM. I recently called in and spoke with an attendant named Kady, who was incredibly pleasant and informative. Her helpfulness made a great first impression and encouraged me to schedule a visit to the facility.
During my visit, I was most impressed by the exceptional customer service, the outstanding cleanliness of the dormitory options, and—most importantly—the thorough safety protocols in place. Everything exceeded my expectations.
It’s a five-star rating from me, and I’m looking forward to moving my son in during the upcoming fall-winter season!

I had a really good experience at hoem on Jarvis while visiting a friend. A CA called kiyan was nice enough to show me to the restroom on the ground floor while I was waiting to get signed in. The community there is truly wonderful.
