where do yall live?

Just got accepted for SIA CPA September 2023 as an international student (russia) and was wondering where it would be best to live. From my research, the Newnham residence seems like a solid option, but I'm curious if there are any cheaper or more convenient options elsewhere. Will appreciate any advise, even not related to the question

Look into kijiji.ca - it's where you'd find roommates and other housing options. I will say, residence is pretty bad as for cost/benefit

now the prices for renting apartments have jumped a lot, but you can find a room / apartment / house (depending on your budget) for rent in kijiji or facebook marketplace

awacado•3/30/23, 9:41 PM

but of course it's better to rent a room or apartment with a friend, because it's much cheaper

awacado•3/30/23, 9:42 PM

when I saw the prices for the residence, I was a little freaked out, because I could rent a room for almost 3 times cheaper

awacado•3/30/23, 9:45 PM

of course it causes difficulties such as traveling to campus by bus, but still it is much cheaper than a residence, I don’t understand for whom they set such price tags

xhosOP•3/30/23, 10:42 PM

thank you a lot, I will look into that

xhosOP•3/30/23, 10:42 PM

Sirinoks•3/31/23, 3:15 PM

Not only, but residence has dumb rules just for the sake of it. Bad internet, bad quality of.. many things

Sirinoks•3/31/23, 3:16 PM

I mean, if you're short, maybe it'll work out... (my basement has low ceilings, would not work for all heights)

Did you get accepted to the SIA campus? Cause that one is different than the newham one

HappyRogue•3/31/23, 5:38 PM

I think bussing from newham to SIA is a pain cause there's no direct bus (I think ) from Newham to SIA.

HappyRogue•3/31/23, 5:38 PM

Imo you want to live on highway 7 (there's a lot of busses that run on this street it's a big street )

HappyRogue•3/31/23, 5:38 PM

Toronto's transit system is trash compared to EU

awacado•3/31/23, 5:44 PM

well, actually you can use seneca transfer buses

awacado•3/31/23, 5:44 PM

its free and you can travel between campuses very fast

awacado•3/31/23, 5:44 PM

like 20-30 mins from SIA to Newnham

awacado•3/31/23, 5:44 PM

so I think its not a big problem at all

HHappyRogue Imo you want to live on highway 7 (there's a lot of busses that run on this stre...

awacado•3/31/23, 5:46 PM

thats true, I really like Markham for that

Aawacado well, actually you can use seneca transfer buses

HappyRogue•3/31/23, 5:49 PM

Ooh I didn't know they transfer busses between campus. Thanks for pointing it out

Aawacado thats true, I really like Markham for that

HappyRogue•3/31/23, 5:49 PM

Did you just +1 me. That's hilarious hahahahah

shmerg•4/1/23, 4:22 AM

A little off but a suggestion is to also look for basement rentals if thats up your alley . They tend to be a decent amount cheaper, especially if its one with roomates within the same common space.

Zane Chan•4/1/23, 8:38 PM

If you can afford, newnham campus is good place. If you want something cheaper, then will have to share place most likely with someone else, for example condo or house. I am also from Russia and was searching for place on Kijiji and just moved in together with 2 my friends in am 3 bedroom apartment. It is much cheaper than residence

Sirinoks•4/2/23, 12:16 AM

We need to all meet

xhosOP•4/2/23, 12:23 AM

I just remembered that im 17 and I will have trouble renting lol

awacado•4/2/23, 1:21 AM

Aawacado will you come here when you are still 17 years old?

xhosOP•4/2/23, 8:07 AM

Sirinoks•4/2/23, 10:23 AM

I came to canada at 17, I didn't have problems

SSirinoks I came to canada at 17, I didn't have problems

xhosOP•4/2/23, 10:25 AM

even with rent, sim cards and other legal stuff?

Sirinoks•4/2/23, 10:25 AM

The only problem was with a work permit for a co-op

Sirinoks•4/2/23, 10:26 AM

So, yea

xhosOP•4/2/23, 10:26 AM

cool

SSirinoks I came to canada at 17, I didn't have problems

awacado•4/2/23, 1:50 PM

Wait, didn't you have difficulties with finding a place to live? I kind of thought if you are under 18, then you should find special housing with some kind of family

awacado•4/2/23, 1:51 PM

it seems that you cannot rent an ordinary room, you just need to find a room in a special program

where do yall live?
