  • I took accommodation off campus, as on campus is really expensive—around 1k per month just for rent. Off campus I found on Facebook marketplace for $500 a month a private room, which includes all amenities like wifi electricity water heat and a shared washroom and kitchen.
  • I would recommend finding off-campus housing, as on-campus housing is usually very high priced and as a student, it is not a good decision, as we can find better places outside campus.

  • The university hosts lots of events but not many of them compare to UBC but it’s not that bad; there are many events throughout the month.
  • Like bunny yoga, mental health dog support, coffee night events during exam weeks, and many more.
  • They also host movie nights in the ground, which makes it interesting throughout the semester.

  • The university made a group for all the students that were going to join in from the next semester, which made it easier to connect with my classmates and more students in the university and through that WhatsApp group, I found my first ever roommates.
  • I shifted in with them when I moved into this country but later on I found more friends and I have kept changing my houses.
  • It’s not that hard to find housing here. I’ve already changed like six houses here and like, it’s not that hard.

Average rental price in Canada when I got here in 2019 were around 500$ for a private room in a shared space. Now in 2023, it's close to 800-900$ for a private room in a shared space. If you want a whole apartment/basement for yourself. Then it's close to 1400$.

The campus is absolutely stunning, with every other facility that you can think of. There is a huge library, many cafes, reading rooms, a stationery store, WiFi, a separate building for sports, a gym, etc. Other than that, they have different exciting events happening every week like movie nights, fests, creative activities, competitions, short trips, volunteering activities.

I live in a rented house with my friend. But there is accommodation provided by the college as well. Outside campus, you can live independently or in sharing, any which way your expenses allow.

There is a wide range of co curricular activities in the Indian campus only. I don?t know much about Canadian campus. Even in the online environment we had so many co curriculars. For example, two Saturdays in a month, we have a Super Saturday kind of thing where the university invites professionals from India or from Canada or some students that have transferred to Canada for their Pep Talks. Also, we have lots of clubs like dance, music, acting, cooking, and graphics. I am currently the president of a club which is an international organization Close Master International. When we were on the campus, we had a Sports Week kind of thing where students used to participate in different sports. The university made arrangements like they booked a Football ground or Badminton Court or something. We also had Teachers vs Students match. We have a Pool Table, Carom, Chess so that students can relax during their classes. One of the biggest co curricular thing offered by the university is Company Program. So every year, the university interviews the interested students and selects one of them and forms a company. So, they decide on a product, go to investors, do the investments, develop the product, sell it and they even have their shares. There is also a Tech Gear activity especially for computer students. They work with different university professionals and develop applications, websites or some hardware stuffs as well.

We don't get accommodation on our own very easily here, they provide us accommodation which is really good and if we don't opt for that then it would be difficult for us.

Yes, I live on campus its called the Baker's house. Right now because of COVID, we all are assigned one room without any room mate. Otherwise there is one room with two beds.

I initially took admission in UFV India and then I took transfer to UFV, Canada. One of the reasons was easy transfer to Canadian campus. Also it is ranked well in Canada.

I live with my meternal grandparents, so I don't have to pay rent or share my room.

One of the branch of UFV was in Chandigarh, so we could transfer to Canada after completing 2 years of our degree.
