  • I found my accommodation via my classmates. They had a space for one more member so they contacted me.
  • We lived in a two-bedroom apartment just 2 minutes from university in a 15 storied building. The monthly rent here was $450 and the facilities included were laundry and parking.
  • I would strongly recommend contacting a rental agency to find the accommodation because the process is much more difficult otherwise. The most Indian students stay off campus and they find their accommodations nearby university where they share their bedroom with other students, normally they do to students in one bedroom.

  • 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

  • I found accommodation through facebook marketplace. My rent was $700 which included laundry and utilities (electricity and water).
  • I did not really face any challenges while finding accommodation, but when securing it, I had to make a decision within 2 days after viewing because of it's high demand.
  • For future students, I would recommend to get a private room if possible because then you can focus a lot on your studies.
  • There's Facebook marketplace, Kijiji and real estate agencies which rent out and if you find real estate agency which specializes in student housing (WCRI in my city, Waterloo), then you can find pretty cheap rooms near university campuses.
  • My accommodation is around 4 KM away from the campus. Most of the Indian students live in the city of Kitchener, but some groups did live near the university but they had to share their rooms with at least 3-4 other people to afford those places.
