Housing options:

Students have number of options they may choose to either take an accommodation on or off campus while studying in a college/university in Canada. There are several kinds of accommodation available.

Accommodation provided by the school/college enrolled in:

Canadian Schools/ Colleges and Universities provide two kinds of accommodation:

Residence sharing apartment/ Dormitories

In this, normally 4-6 students share a flat – like space with individual bedrooms and common living and kitchen areas. This is a good way of making friends, getting to be part of the student community, share chores and exchange cultural tips, while still being able to have one’s own individual space while studying, writing and sleeping.

Homestays

Many Canadian families prefer renting their extra rooms to international students. The student gets to stay in a home-like atmosphere and has the benefit of being part of a family. This is often essential for international students, especially the younger students and helps them adapt quickly. Typically the student has a room to her/him and shares meals with the host family.

Since homestays are arranged by the school/college the student has enrolled in, every effort is made to match the student profile with the host family to ensure safe and healthy adaptation.

Private Accommodation

In this system, rents may vary vastly depending on location, the lists of amenities and utilities included. Rents are higher in the city Centre , especially in larger cities while the suburban accommodation may appear or actually be much cheaper. It is important for the student to make a thorough comparison and read the fine print before signing a lease.

Often an entire flat or house is too expensive for one student alone to rent out and so one can join a group who is renting by either checking out new students with similar requirements, or keep a lookout on notice boards, newspapers and the like for any single rooms within a house being advertised.
