Shared housing
Regarding accommodation in Canada, shared housing is one of the most preferred options by international students. As the name suggests, you can share the housing cost with your roommates. Whether renting a room in a house or an apartment, shared housing is a great way to save money, especially in cities with high living costs.
- Lower rent costs as expenses are divided
- Socializing opportunities with roommates
- A variety of housing types and locations to choose from
In certain situations, unexpected changes or issues with the original accommodation may occur. In such cases, alternative accommodation must be arranged to meet the guest's needs. A backup plan is essential due to maintenance problems, overbooking, or emergencies.
