you get used to the sharing, we really don't know that in France, that's a good thing, but there were cleanliness issues and noise !

Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

On-campus residence is a must for first-timers at University of Ottawa. Once you've been there, though, you'd rather look for a more independent way of life -maybe moving in an apartment downtown with former Residence people from your floor!

There is a serious shortage in housing on campus, so you should apply early for it, and insist! All shared facilities residences are pretty much the same, and you have easy access to laundry, café, security... Residence life is friendly and informal. That's where you'll probably meet your best friends.
