There are many housing options while studying abroad. You need to consider if you would like
to live on campus, in private off campus residences, off campus or with homestays. Determine your monthly budget (Budget Calculator) and what you can realistically afford.
For more information on Housing and International Services, including if you are unable to secure housing before you come to Canada, please visit International Student Services website.
