Housing and Accommodations

Whether you choose to live on-campus or off-campus, Algonquin College can help with accommodation options to suit your lifestyle and needs. Planning ahead is important, here are some questions to consider in your decision and search:

  • What is my monthly budget?
  • How important is it for me to live close to campus?
  • Do I prefer living with others or alone?

Students should allow themselves sufficient time to look for housing. International students are encouraged to review the International Education Centre’s Arrival Services page to plan for their arrival to Canada.
