  • Off-Campus, I lived with my family in Brampton, which was about a 100km away from the university. I bought a secondhandcar, and I drove it twice a week to the university.
  • As per my observation, the monthly rent was 700-900 CAD/monthly, some included utilities and some did not.
  • Challenges people faced were mostly with getting job to pay rent, or with lease agreements or landlords.
  • Check the place and landlord thoroughly, also try to negotiate the best you can and don't for On-campus accommodation, and be aware of the frauds going on Facebook Marketplace.
  • I lived 100kms away 100 kmhe university and Indians stay majorly in Kitchener and Brampton
