From 1964-1972 the French House was a women's residence for students in the honours French program. The women pledged to the exclusive use of French in the residence, a two-story house at the southern end of the campus.

Wilfrid Laurier University is located in Waterloo, Ontario. It began in 1911 as the Evangelical Lutheran Seminary of Canada. In 1924 Waterloo College was established, providing courses in post-secondary education. In 1960 Waterloo College became Waterloo Lutheran University, and in 1973 changed its name to Wilfrid Laurier University.
