While some housing needs and wants are pretty universal, like low crime rates and accessibility, students have a special need for their temporary homes. The reality of living in Toronto is you\u2019re going to have to make sacrifices, especially when you\u2019re on a tight budget.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking to move off campus to university or college, you\u2019re going to want to look for a place with affordable rent, has good transit, has a variety of entertainment options, is safe and is close to your campus. You\u2019ll also need to consider whether you want to live alone or with roommates and what you can afford.<\/p>\n
Depending on where your school is, you\u2019ll get different things at your price point, and regardless of where you plan to live, there will be sacrifices to make. For example, if you\u2019re not living downtown, you probably won\u2019t have as many options for things to do, but you\u2019ll save some money on rent. If you are living downtown, you\u2019ll be spending more on your rent for less and it will be louder and busier (which may be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you\u2019re looking for).<\/p>\n
There are lots of universities and colleges spread out across the entire city. That being said here are\u00a0some of the more popular\u00a0student friendly neighbourhoods in Toronto:<\/p>\n
