Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Because it was so good, not much will beat Fenwick
Personal comments:
Make sure you are in Fenwick Tower on the 32/33rd floor, it was amazing up there. I could talk for hours on how good it was. Also make sure you ring Dalhousie Accomodation and ask to have a big room. The rooms up on the 32/33 are diffrent sizes and are all the same price so get a large one.

Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Spring garden rd has an amazing night life. The waterfront is great. For your shopping needs or to watch a movie go to Bayer's Lake. Oh btw the city has a good bus system so you can take buses to nearly everywhere in the city.
