Off-campus housing

We advise students to finalize or research their accommodations before they arrive in Canada.
There are many options to find housing off-campus. Georgian College is partnered with Places4Students, a company that specializes in providing off-campus housing solutions to postsecondary students. Places4Students provide listings of properties available to rent, as well as profiles of students looking for roommates. This service is free of cost to Georgian students.

If you plan to live in off-campus housing, be prepared to:

Share a house or some common space with other students
Purchase and prepare your own meals
Pay your own bills and live with other people

The cost of private rentals is generally between $500 and $700 per room per month (meals not included) in Barrie, or $450 to $650 per room per month in other campus communities. In addition, students may pay $100 to $150 for utilities at some places.

Off-campus student residences

Homestay
Students are carefully matched to one of our caring host families who will provide a private bedroom, food for three meals per day and internet access. It’s a great way for you to immerse yourself in Canadian culture and experience Canadian life in a family setting.
