From 2013, St. Edmund's College maintains three hostels, namely "Brother O' Leary Residence" (also known as the B.T. Hostel); "Bro. J. N. Foley Students' Residence" (formerly known as the New Hostel) for about 100 boys and for about 50 girls (exact name may differ). The "Bro. O'Leary Residence" was founded in 1937 by Rev. Bro. J. I. O'Leary of the Congregation of Irish Christian Brothers as a post-graduate residence for students attending Bachelor of Teaching (B.T.) courses in the St. Edmund's College. After about 14 years to support the changed need of the students, there was qualitative change of the hostel. It was converted into an undergraduate residence for the students of St. Edmund's College in 1951.
