Off-campus Housing
If you do not reserve your residence space before the application deadline, you will need to find off-campus housing.
Renting an apartment is an option for off-campus housing.
Apartments in Sudbury are usually available with one-,two-, or three-bedrooms. You are responsible for buying and cooking your own food, doing your laundry, purchasing furniture (usually) and other necessities such as bed linens, dishes, cooking utensils, silverware, etc. The apartment may or may not be equipped with a fridge and stove.
Cost: between $641.00 and $1218.00 CDN per month, which may or may not include utilities, and usually does not include telephone or cable television.
This might be a suitable arrangement for someone who is planning to study for a period longer than eight months since most apartments require you to stay for one year. Because this option cannot be pre-arranged, you should be prepared to spend the first few days in a hotel or temporary housing.
