• CANADORE COLLEGE- Medical Services: Health and wellness services are offered to students for their benefit.

• I chose off-campus accommodation near Canadore College. It was around 10-15 minutes from campus, by public transportation.
• How I Found It:  -I found the accommodation through online platforms and student groups on Discord and Telegram, which are popular among international students. These groups provided useful leads and insights into available housing options.
• Rent and Facilities:-It usually would go in the range of **CAD 500-700 per month**, but this depended on the type and shared arrangements. The basic utilities of heating, electricity, and water were usually included in the rent; not all, but some accommodations had free Wi-Fi.
• Challenges:-The major problem was locating reasonably-priced, comfortable housing before arrival in Canada. Most landlords either ask for advance payments or references, which were not easy to furnish from abroad. During peak intake seasons, furthermore, housing becomes very competitive, hence requiring a student to plan well in advance.
• Recommendations for Future Students:-Start looking for accommodation **2-3 months in advance of your arrival** to avoid last-minute hassle.
• You also can look up rooms or apartments on the marketplace on Facebook, Kijiji, or specific Telegram groups for Indian students. Still, beware of scams, so verification of property and landlords has to be done in advance. Network with current students for actual referrals.
• Indian Student Housing:-Most of the Indian students prefer staying in shared apartments or houses within the vicinity of the college either at Trout Lake Road or in Airport Road, well accessible to the campus through public transportation. The localities are reasonably affordable and very friendly towards the students.

Lots of events on the campus and the college staff is very friendly. Very easy to access all the resources and never felt any difficulties in using them.

Very good accommodation. The security and safety is very well taken care in the College Residence.

Campus life is so good here. You can meet new people from different countries and there are so many events Canadore organize. Our campus has sports area, cafeteria, library and many more things.

If you are planning about taking private room it will cost you more but if you are ok with sharing room then it's good.

As I was not in the main Campus, my campus was so small. We don't have any libraries, sports facilities etc.

Its always good to have shared rooms if you have a good friend.

Campus life is good. It is great to live with college friends. I have nearly 20 people studying the same program who originally belong to my home country. all the spots like the library, sports facilities have fully packed with the books and equipment.

As a newcomer, try to find shared accommodations or find good friends who can help you to find housing off-campus. There are no such criteria for finding accommodation but look for rooms and apartments on Kijiji and the marketplace.

Due to Corona, classes are still offered online. We have received a mail that the campus will be opening from next semester.

Accommodations and living expenses are high, but this can be managed if a person is doing part time during studies. Average rental costs from 450 to 640 CAD.

College held a fest during my study and Facebook competitions and cash prizes for the participants and winners is a part of the event.

In Scarborough, Mississauga and Brampton the average rent for international students range from 350$ to 600$ in sharing and upto 800$ for individual rooms.

I learned about this college by doing research about mental health and addiction type programs. I also had heard great things about the college from alumni that had gone there previously. I applied to 3 different colleges and was accepted to all 3. After previously graduating from a different college I determined that I wanted to take a different route into a new field.

Off campus doing part time security guard jobs and meals I have made my own after hard work.International student life is difiicult and stages are high due to which problems arise. Now we have to find job .

Canadore is more focused on practical knowledge to succeed in real world. I get acceptance of too many colleges but I prefer it as it was one of best researched colleges by my parents. I was interested in business and they have more curricular activities that s why I chose it. Canadore is good colleges to study
