Narrowing Your List of Options for Student Housing

• If you're going to be going to college in
  Peterborough or anywhere else this year, you will
  need to find housing, and if you haven't already,
  now's the time to secure your place - apartments
  and suites are booking up quickly!

• When it comes to apartments for rent in
  Peterborough, Ontario, there are lots of options.
  Sometimes, you can feel overwhelmed by your
  choices and not feel certain about which place
  will be the best fit. Let's take a look at your
  options

Living On Campus

• For some, the convenience of being literally
  minutes from class is a major plus and so an on
  campus residence may be a good choice. These
  residences are usually designed to suit students'
  budgets and may include access to amenities like
  a gym, study lounge, etc.

• In many cases, this type of student housing will
  also come equipped with some furniture, such as a
  bed and a desk, which will reduce the amount of
  furniture you'll need to move. One thing that
  some students don't like about living on campus
  is that you can be more limited by rules and
  regulations. Late night partying, for example,
  likely won't be tolerated in an on-campus
  residence.

Living Off Campus

• Other students can't wait to find an apartment
  that's off campus and that will give them a real
  taste of independence. When it comes to
  off-campus student housing in Peterborough, there
  are lots of options, but you will want to make
  sure you visit the houses or apartments you're
  considering beforehand.

• Taking a tour will give you the opportunity to
  meet the landlord and to confirm the condition of
  the space. While some students enjoy the new
  freedom and responsibilities that come with
  living off campus, some initially find it
  difficult to adjust to being largely on their
  own. If you're considering an unfurnished
  apartment, you will also need to find or buy
  everything you will need and move it to your new
  space.

8

• A great compromise for many students is to live
  in a place like Severn Court Student Residence,
  where you're just minutes from campus, have more
  freedoms and don't have to move a tonne of
  furniture, but also have the peace of mind that
  comes from knowing that the property is run by a
  professional management company.

9

• There are also several amenities that make
  student living fun and convenient, not to mention
  the price suits most students' budgets.
• If you haven't already found an apartment,
  contact them to book a tour.
