Make a life in Canada
In Canada, a campus residence can be a starting point for friendships, with classes and the library close by. Some residences offer shared rooms, kitchens and optional meal plans. Living off campus brings more independence, alongside responsibilities such as furnishing a room, cooking and commuting. Your university’s student association can help you explore housing options and settle into everyday student life.
