Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario - Accommodation

I did rent out a room. Ontario Tech has a lot of living options, dorm rooms of 2 types- with and without meal. Around the campus, within a 10 min walk, there is more than 10,000 rooms available for rent. I was having a house with 5 room, as we were 5 people.

there are many reasons for choosing this college. Firstly it was my locational preference because i don't have to struggle with the language thing. secondly it offers multi project and multi year course curriculum that sounds more fascinating for me.

No, I live with my parents in Toronto 3 hours away from my campus. But the uni has very nice res which I visited last year. And there are student preference residence programs. That gives emphasis on renting places out to students. And those neighbourhoods are practically in the campus. Would be 15 minutes walk on average to get to the farthest edge of the university from those neighbourhoods.

The city of Kingston where the university is located is very beautiful. And I have talked to some people from that university and one of the major thing everyone mentioned was that the teachers are very passionate. And that is the one thing that matters to me the most about any institute.

In your first year, you will get a chance to live on rez but afterward, if you want to live on campus you should apply early otherwise there are a lot of off-campus options.

I felt it was one of the best for the course I wanted to do and apart from that the city was closer to Toronto where most of the job opportunities are.

Almost all first-years live in residence and the experience has been amazing. The meal plan includes 19 meals a week plus 200 opportunities to purchase a meal in a retail outlet for no extra cost per year. The residence is less than a 5-minute walk from the business school

They had an easy application process and are very well known for their amazing business school. They have high retention rates and high success of employment after graduating. They also offer a joint Bcom and JD program, few unis in the country do. I was too of my class, president of service clubs, and a public speaker. I did the IB program and they transferred my credits easily.

In the first year, almost all incoming students live in residence. The style of residence I received was a 'single plus room' which is a single bedroom that includes an adjoining bathroom shared with one other room on a mixed gender floor and building. All residence options include an on-campus meal plan. In upper years, almost all students live off campus in the University District which is more colloquially known as the 'student ghetto' in which there are very old student homes to live in that are falling apart. I personally chose to live in a newer housing development within the university district so as to avoid common problems students face living in the poor quality homes available (e.g. bugs, mice, no A/C, no in-suite laundry, squirrels in the walls, etc.)

Its reputation and sense of community is something I was immediately attracted to. Also, Queen's prides itself on its traditions and heritage that are part of its history as an educational institution. Also, Queen's is a fair distance away from my hometown so it's not hard to get home if needed but also I'm far away at the same time.

The school spirit is excellent, I think it's unrivaled in Canada. The campus is beautiful, with scenic views and an awesome lake for events. Buildings and infrastructure are excellent as well. Finally, there is an excellent community feel.

Parents went there. Was originally in the con-Ed program, one of few in the province. It was far away from home while being less than a day?s travel. Cost of living was much lower than home, and it had a vibrant queer community.

I really enjoyed my residence last year. It was a good experience and I found it easy to make friends. The washroom situation was good, they have shared washrooms but completely separate rooms. I was in a double room and found I had enough room for myself and that it was a good size. I now live in a house off of campus which is very different than the residence. It is harder to see friends because people live so far away from each other.

Knew a lot of friends that planned on attending the university and had a strong interest in their cheerleading team. A great community environment and a very pretty campus felt very welcomed. It was very easy to make friends.

I lived in residence in the first year, which was enjoyable and well organized. Then, in my upper years, I moved into the "student ghetto" for the remainder of my degree, which has been fun but extremely overpriced based on inflated demand by students in Kingston. There is a big discrepancy in home and landlord quality, too.

Because of the ability to take courses in multiple disciplines (a Bachelor of Arts within the Concurrent Education program has allowed me to pursue a drama major, English minor, and Certificate in Business prior to my final year in primary junior teaching).

In the first year, I lived in residence. This provided me with a room and food on campus. However, this was quite expensive. From the second year on, I rented a house with 4 other people that worked well. This option saved me at least half.

I felt the school had a good reputation for engineering and I also liked the city, sitting lakeside like my hometown. The school also provided me with scholarships that I could not turn down.
