HOUSING
by Sae Rom, Ewha Women's University, Seoul, Korea, South
Economics, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? It is a great opportunity to meet all people and make a social circle from all over the world and canada.
Personal comments:
I had stayed in a residence called 'Columbia Lake Village' which is espeacilly for exchange student and upper-year canadian student for 8 months, and had lived off-campus for 4 months. The cost is a bit higher than market price, but the residence, CLV, offered a very nice garden, clean housing and great opportunity to make social connection. CLV runned its own programs such as Holloween party, BBQ party and niagara trip etc, so that people could actually have a chance to get to know each other.

The Bomber, the on-campus pub was the best place to be, exspecially to socialise! There was also a on-campus nightclub called Fed Hall, which could be quite good! There was also many keg parties, that should not be missed! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
