Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of three types of accommodation for studying in Canada

One, school dormitory

Advantage: For students who have just left the country, do not know Canada, if there is no relatives in Canada, it is recommended to first choose the university dormitory. Because it is difficult to find a suitable off-campus rental, in addition to the school dormitory will be closer to the teaching building, saving time and convenience. And the school is a dining hall, do not have to worry about the problem of food, pocket money on the good? Lastly, there are many foreign students in the school, so you can communicate with each other and understand.

Disadvantages: school dormitory rent is generally slightly higher than off-campus rent; school cafeteria mainly provides Western-style food, long time may still not accustomed to; foreigners often gather, more lively, but some people do not like to pay attention to; some schools are very pitted, dormitory part of the male and female, the girl paper to be careful?

Second, the host family

Advantage: Rent will be cheaper than on-campus dormitory, and a better understanding of the authentic Canadian life. For many students, it is a good opportunity to improve their speaking skills, and host families will welcome international students to participate in their family activities.

Weaknesses: There are all sorts of weirdos out there, but I'm afraid I'll meet a host family that I don't get along with. And really, don't treat your host family as your own, there are some inappropriate behaviors that you should avoid.

Three, off-campus rental

Advantage: several people together to share a flat, you can share the rent, water and electricity bills, if all Chinese students, everyone's diet and habits are still relatively similar, easy to communicate, and not in the host family and the school dormitory so much restriction.

Disadvantages: There is a risk of getting into disputes over utilities; if you share a room with a Chinese student, you will not be able to communicate in English in your daily life, which makes it harder to improve your speaking skills, and you don't have as much time in school and you don't have to talk all the time.

All three types of accommodation have their own advantages and disadvantages, there is no such thing as the best way to stay, it's mainly up to the international students themselves to find which one is more suitable, after all, what suits them is the best.
