  • My college is the main campus and there are several more campuses of it; i think least 7 more. The campus does have a well-stocked library, a fully equipped gym, plenty of studying areas, and a 24-hour open lounge area for students. Throughout the year the campus does host several events and activities.
  • Each georgian campus has a GSCA that's basically established by students, which runs all the events in college. It also has a food bank where students can get emergency food supply with no charge.

  • I found accommodation online and also through agents. Generally, when you are searching for a place in a condo in toronto u need an agent because they do all the talking with the landlord and get your paperwork done. Challenges faced depend on the person. Many landlords are fussy so they don't entertain students.
  • I would suggest always looking for a place yourself first and negotiating on the rent. Always negotiate.

  • Georgian College has 7 campuses across Ontario.

    Alpine Ski Resort Campus
  • I study at the main campus which is the Barrie campus, this campus is equipped with lots of facilities such as a big library, sports facilities, gym, basketball court, and medical centre.
  • Our college organises various events and fests throughout the year, the most loved event is Winter fest, it is organised to welcome the winter season and many activities are organised like ice skating, snow sculptures etc.
  • The student union actively organises theme parties and cultural events. There are various sports clubs which students can join like basketball, soccer, volleyball etc.
  • Overall, Georgian College provides a lot of extracurricular activities to keep the students
    engaged and entertained.

  • I opted to stay off campus while studying at Georgian College, which was more
    independent.
  • I used websites like Kijiji, Facebook Market Place to find off-campus accommodation. These apps help students find off-campus housing by listing out available properties and profiles of students looking for roommates, making it easier to find a place to stay.
  • The rent amount is between $400-$700 per month. I got a fully furnished apartment that had all the required necessities, such as electricity, heating, water, internet access, a fully equipped fitness centre and laundry.
  • Accommodation was a challenge to secure, due to the competitive rental market near the college. This often meant that when housing did become available, it was necessary to act quickly. Besides, understanding the rental agreements and local regulations required attention to detail to avoid misunderstandings and ensure full compliance.
  • My honest advice is to start your house search as early as possible, preferably before arrival. Websites like Places4Students, and Kijiji can be helpful. It is advised to get in touch with other students through college forums or social media groups to help each other find a place to stay.
  • Wherever possible, visiting the potential accommodations in person will give a better idea of the living conditions and the neighbourhood around.
  • My accommodation was about a 5-minute walk from the college campus. Many international students, including those from India, prefer to stay in places like Allandale and Holly because of their proximity to the college and the easy availability of houses on rent. These areas offer shared accommodation and private rentals as well making it popular choice among students .Overall, it’s not very challenging to find off-campus housing near Georgian College, careful
    planning and seeking out available resources can be very helpful.

  • My college has 6 campuses. I am not aware of all the campuses, but one is Barrie, one is Toronto Downtown, one is Orillia, and one is Owen Sound.
  • No facilities on my campus; nothing is there; not many events take place; neither festivals nor clubs happen.
  • In terms of extracurricular activities, just games are boring and some general stuff happens sometimes only.

  • I was supposed to live with my friend whom I have been knowing since my childhood so finding accommodation was not an issue for me but I would suggest you look on FB Marketplace and Kijiji before coming to Canada because it helps a lot in every aspect and the main thing is, please do not pay any money before somebody you know looks at the accommodation.
  • If you don’t know anyone, rent AirBnB for a few days and fin’s accommodation after coming here.

Currently, I'm living 20 km away from college in a sharing room; for that, I'm paying 500 dollars every month as rent, and it is off-campus. also, Georgian college provides on-campus accommodation for students.

It is good. All the campus facilities are pretty well and my favorite part is the library, which is quiet and WiFi is available throughout the campus.

Accommodations could be expensive on campus but off campus too as the housing market is not so great in Canada from past 2 years and the rental market is bad.

Everything is above expectations! They provide you everything you want but you should be the one to take the initiative to talk to them.
