Normally, at the beginning of the school year, the Student
Services of universities and colleges publish lists of rooms and apartments
available off campus. You should pay attention to these services as well as
advertisements in the local or college/university newspapers, and bulletin
boards (告示板) on the campus or in supermarkets. You might also walk through the
section of the city or town in which you wish to live, to see whether there are
"FOR RENT" signs on the doors or windows of houses. You may also ask other
students for advice, either Canadian or from overseas. It would be wise to set
aside at least several full days to look for accommodation at the beginning of
your program. This will allow you to obtain an idea of the range of housing
available. Usually, it is not a good idea to take the first accommodation that
you see unless, of course, you are certain that it will be
satisfactory. Accommodation outside the center of a city is
normally less expensive than accommodation in the center of the city. Finding Accommodation for
