  • I chose an accommodation close to the university with the train facility that just had a stop inside the university itself.
  • Monthly rent for each person in my flat was around $350 CAD and I found the accommodation by checking in Facebook marketplace and also by talking to the seniors in LinkedIn who already attended this university and then contacted the apartment people and initiated the process and then posted the ad for the roommates in Facebook marketplace to gather roommates
