If you have decided to live off-campus there are a number of basic questions you should ask yourself before beginning the search for accommodations:
- How much can I afford?
- Do I want to live alone or with a roommate(s)
- Do I live with a friend(s) or people I don’t know?
- What length of lease am I willing to accept?
- Will I be in Barrie during the summer? Or sublet my apt?
- How far from the College do I want to be?
- Do I need parking?
- Are the accommodations licensed under the City’s Boarding, Lodging and Rooming House by-law?
- Do I know how to be a good neighbour?
