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!!!

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/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.

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!

The accommodation on the campus is very good, from what i expereinced. It is adequately equipped and secure. Provides well for both undergrads and postgrads.
I lived in International House directly on campus. It is a very new building and the location is perfect!

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!
