Housing

 For some students staying with a Canadian family offers a great way to experience life in this country and improve their English. Other students may prefer to live more independently in the college residences or even find their own off-campus housing.

Homestay: the best choice for new students

  Staying with a Canadian family offers an opportunity to speak English and learn about Canadian family life and culture. All homestay accommodation includes a private room, 3 meals per day, and laundry facilities.

LIVING ON CAMPUS  Residence: a good choice for independent students

Residence provides independent-style living on the Castlegar campus and Nelson's Tenth Street Campus for both Canadian and International students. Meals are not included. 

KEKULI HOUSE RESIDENCE - CASTLEGAR Conveniently located on the Castlegar Campus with spectacular views of the Columbia River Valley, the Kekuli House Residence offers private accommodations for students in single room suites. The residence building also includes common areas with free laundry facilities, television and recreation lounges.

Meals are not provided.  Students are expected to buy their own groceries and cook for themselves.  The cafeteria does serve food that students can purchase during the day, but it is not open in the evenings or on the weekends. - Bedding (bed sheets / bed linen) is available to rent. - Students must provide their own dishes and cooking utensils

 TENTH STREET RESIDENCE – NELSON The recently renovated Tenth Street Residence in Nelson provides housing for students. Accommodations range from single rooms with central amenities to three and five bedroom ‘pods’ complete with kitchen, bathrooms and a living room/ dining room area.

Off Campus: arrange your own accommodation

Students can find their own apartment by searching local newspapers and online classifieds.

Local communities have a variety of apartment and suite accommodation opportunities. Students must make their own arrangements if they wish to live off campus in a private apartment or suite. Apartment: An apartment is a room or suite of rooms located in a building occupied by more than one household. Apartment buildings generally have many apartments.

 Suite: A suite is usually a private living arrangement in a house. Suites are often in the basement, ground floor or top floor. Like an apartment, they have a private living space, kitchen, bathroom and access to the outdoors.

Room: A room is a bedroom in a larger house or apartment shared with other individuals. You generally have your own bedroom and shared kitchen, bathroom and living space with roommates.

All off-campus housing in Canada will have a stove and refrigerator. Some will also include access to shared laundry facilities. Some off-campus housing is “furnished”, this means that it comes with furniture (ie. A bed, chairs, table). The majority of apartments and suites do not come with furniture, and you will need to purchase the basics.
