Student housing and colocation Ottawa
1. Find their dwelling or roommate before leaving or on the spot?
Having lived a week looking for housing there, I'd be tempted to advise you to find accommodation before leaving, this will avoid the stress of not finding as well as the cost of the inn. However, some locations are real (pig) slums. In fact, if I had to relive the experience, I would prepare actively research in France and I will take contact with the owners, but I would urge not before he had seen the housing with my own eyes. If you have the opportunity to ask someone there for you to visit, it would also be an interesting solution.
When I arrived in Ottawa, I went to the hostel HI-Ottawa Jail Hostel. The former prison converted you can be accommodated economically ($ 25 per night) while living an extraordinary experience. Both hostels cheapest in Ottawa are:
- Backpackers Inn http://www.ottawahostel.com/

2. On-campus student housing, university residences in Ottawa.
Not having lived on-campus (in residence), I still heard that the advantage is to meet many people and have fun. However many young people have left their homes in the family home recently, and think a little too much partying ... In addition to noise, is to spend your life on campus surrounded by students is not necessarily the best way to discover the city in which you live.
3. Student Accommodation and Off-campus roommates in Ottawa.
On the Off-Campus Housing, I recommend roommate. Economical and efficient way to immerse themselves in the culture and language of the country. Share an apartment or a house is something quite common in Canada even among young professionals and adults.
Remember that it is customary to pay the first and last month when we moved. If you need to equip your house, enjoy garage sales (garage sale) and people who leave everything they do not want their homes to furniture, sofas, televisions, books, lamps.
4. Where and how to find her roommate or student housing in Ottawa.

5. Housing prices and student flatshare in Ottawa.
