Accomodation was offered and I believe to be a high standard, but I chose to live in a private situation

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
renting a room in an already established apartment-sharing community is the easiest way for three simple reasons:
- you don't have to buy anything since the room is already furnished and the most important household items are available (washing machine, dryer, TV, fridge, stove etc.)
- you don't have to worry about electricity, cable or internet contracts since they run on your room mates' names
- you have a lot of fun with the other guys and make immediately a couple of new friends!

the McGill Offcampus Housing Office offers sufficient help
if you come 1-2 weeks before the semester starts, finding a room is not too difficult
