Accommodation in Canada
Accommodation is probably the highest cost alongside tuition fee. Some students tend to find a dormitory when accepted because of its convenience. Most of the international students who live in dorms are called “resident students”. Students usually share a room with one or few other students, and share other facilities like kitchen, living room and laundry room. Normally, students might pay 3.000 to 7.500 CAD a year for a place inside campus. However, being accepted in school doesn’t mean a spot in the dorm, so make sure you register ASAP.
Many other students rent houses or apartments outside campus and share with other students for a lower price. Usually, a student will rent one bedroom, and share other rooms like the kitchen, living room, or laundry room. The price will be different depending on places, the most expensive are in big cities like Toronto and Vancouver (But cheaper than New York or London), and cheaper in small cities. You will have to pay 250 to 700 CAD a month for a rental.
Here are the average costs for 3-room apartments in different cities in Canada:

There are other options like homestays where you can live with a native Canadian family. In addition to a reservation of 200 CAD, students also have to pay 400 to 800 CAD a month for meals and a room in the family homestay. However, you will have chances to join the owners activities, improve your English and know more about the culture, all are such precious experiences.
