Normally, at the beginning of the school year, the Student Services of universities and colleges publish lists of rooms and apartments available off campus. You should pay attention to these services as well as advertisements in the local or college newspapers, and bulletin boards on the campus or in supermarkets. You might also walk thr6ugh the section of city or town in which you wish to live, to see whether there are "FOR RENT" signs on the doors or windows of houses. You may also ask other students for advice, either Canadian or from overseas. It would be wise to set aside at least several full days to look for accommodation at the beginning of your program. This will allow you to obtain an idea of the range of housing available. Usually, it is not a good idea to take the first accommodation that you see unless, of course, you are certain that it will be satisfactory.
Accommodation outside the center of a city is normally less expensive, than accommodation in the center, of the city.
