Accommodation

Finding affordable long-term accommodations in suburban Vancouver and its city center can be challenging due to high prices. That is why students chose homestays and shared renting while studying in Vancouver.

Please note that students just like any other tenant have rights and responsibilities when renting accommodation.

Shared Renting

Rent rates in Vancouver may be a little pricey for some. To temper costs, students typically share rented spaces with fellow students. Suites and apartments for rent usually have a kitchen, a toilet, a bathroom, and a bedroom. They do not always include meals, furniture, or utilities, however.

Vancouver has a cosmopolitan lifestyle and cultural scene. It has many facilities that cater to people’s diverse tastes in the arts, music, food, sports, and the outdoors.

Various entertainment, art, and theatre productions are held in places like the Orpheum, Queen Elizabeth Theatre and Plaza, Vancouver Playhouse, and Annex. Concerts and other events also occur in Malkin Bowl at Stanley Park, Jericho Arts Centre, Moberly Arts, Cultural Centre, and Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre. Annual events like the Vancouver International Festival and the Vancouver Fringe Festival highlight the city’s artistic flair.

Vancouver’s landscape and seascape are sights to behold, so locals have a passion for outdoor activities and a preference for biking or walking to work. Golf, sailing, hiking, canoeing, skiing, and snowboarding are popular in the city. Interestingly, this love for the outdoors has been linked to Vancouver’s relatively low obesity rate. About 3,200 acres of parklands decorate Vancouver’s scenery, the largest and most famous of which is Stanley Park’s designated national historic site. 

Areas like Kitsilano and West End are other popular Vancouver destinations. Kitsilano, locally known as Kits, features stunning Kits Beach, restaurants, organic-food spots, and shopping stores. More food and shopping hubs can be found in West End.

Prized cultural and historical artifacts can be viewed in the Museum of Vancouver and the Vancouver Art Gallery.
