Why? The convenience of living directly on campus should not be underestimated. It facilitates integration attempts and enforces a more vivid community life!
Personal comments:
The International House on the Campus of the U of A was great way to live although cleanliness could have been better and the room space was pretty limeted. But what makes this facility so special is its community, the people who live in there and the international spirit that can be felt in every corner of this house!!!

Why? It was cheaper compared to student residences. Also, I like the fact living in a condo with a couple of nice roommates felt more like home than just renting a room at a residence. However, next time I would choose the location better, as living far away from campus and the city was sometimes not so convenient.
Personal comments:
I didn't have any personal experience about University accommodation since I regarded it too expensive for me.

Why? The closenes to university and social life on campus is the main reason to live on campus
Personal comments:
The housing facilities are great! Living alone is rather expensive! Social life in the residence is supported by certain events and nice personnel! Especially the HUB Mall and a house on East CAmpus Village are recommendable!

Why? I lived in International House directly on campus. It is a very new building and the location is perfect!
Personal comments:
To live on campus is perfect, especially if you don't have a car. In winter waiting for the bus at -40°C is not funny! From I-House it took me 5 min to the campus center!
