The University of Ottawa also known as uOttawa or nicknamed U of O, and Ottawa U is a bilingual, research-intensive, non-denominational, international university in Ottawa, Ontario. University of Ottawa is one of the oldest universities in Canada, and was originally established as the College of Bytown in 1848 by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. The college was originally for boys only and taught a classical liberal arts curriculum. Morning classes were taught in French and afternoon classes in English. The University of Ottawa campus was originally located in the Lower Town district of the city of Bytown on the site of what is now the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica. One of the original buildings still stands at the intersection of Sussex Drive and Guigues Avenue. The college moved to its current location in Sandy Hill in 1856 when land was donated by notary Louis T. Besserer. In 1861, the College of Bytown became the College of Ottawa. In 1866 the college received a Royal charter from London, England to become the University of Ottawa. In 1889, the University of Ottawa was granted a pontifical charter by Pope Leo XIII. The pontifical charter would later be transferred to Saint Paul University during a reorganization in 1965.

The Main Academic Building was constructed in various stages between 1865 and 1885 and was destroyed by fire in 1903. Academic Hall was completed in 1901and still stands to this day as one of the oldest buildings still in use by the University of Ottawa. The Main Academic Building was rebuilt in various stages from 1905 to 1931. The design for the new building was inspired by the Capitol Building in Washington by architect A. O. Von Herbulis. The building was renamed in 1971 to Tabaret Hall in honour of Father Joseph-Henri Tabaret, OMI. Women began attending classes on campus in 1919. In 1935, the Catholic Centre was organized at the University of Ottawa. In 1939 the Canadian Officers' Training Corps and the Royal Canadian Air Force began using some of the university's facilities. In 1942, temporary military barracks were constructed on campus for the Canadian Women's Army Corps. A total of 1158 students and alumni enlisted in the war effort. The University of Ottawa was restructured and made non-denominational in 1965. The Ontario legislature passed the University of Ottawa Act in 1965, making the University of Ottawa a provincially funded institution. Saint Paul University was founded at this time and the university's theology programs were transferred.

The University of Ottawa is a member of the Group of Thirteen, a group that describes itself as the leading research-intensive universities in Canada.

On-campus residences are situated in downtown Ottawa. With a capacity to house over 3000 full-time students, University of Ottawa has seven residence buildings: four traditional-style buildings: Thompson, Stanton, Marchand, and Leblanc, the dormitory/apartment hybrid 90 University (opened in 2002), and two apartment-style buildings: Brooks and Hyman-Soloway (opened in 2005). At University of Ottawa all first year undergraduate students are guaranteed a place in residence. The main residential complex (including 90 University, Stanton, and Marchand) is open during the summer as a hotel to independent travellers, conference attendees, school groups, and others. Additionally, the 20th floor of 90 University is open year-round as a short-term hotel, catering particularly to visiting professors and researchers. Is not unusual that last minute students, unavailable to secure on-campus residence, are housed at Saint Paul University's suite-style residence opened in 2006 on the campus of Saint Paul University, which is federated with the University of Ottawa. Saint Paul University is located at 200 Main Street, a 15 minute walk from the main campus or a 5 minute shuttle ride. Recently the university has been featured in national coverage criticizing the residence system, particularly cleaning and upkeep of housing from year to year.
