ma17 Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Hi all, I was wondering how to go about finding housing for London. Specifically, where could I find a 1 bedroom place in a location that wouldnt necessitate a car, at least in preclerkship years - assuming such a location exists). Any recommendations and advice is much appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHG Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 hey! I'm not London campus but just wanted to let you know that your Orientation Coordinators will be posting a housing guide with walking distances / grocery stores / popular places to live etc soon - that should help you out!

aray623 Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 I'm graduating this year, but i know of a few people who did all 4 years without a car. They do recommend you have a car in upper years though for rural rotations. It can be difficult in clerkship if you live near UH and then get placed at Vic, but then have teaching once a week at UH mid-day without a car. But it's doable. As CHG says, the o-co's will come out with a housing guide to help out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterntaler Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I lived in the downtown area during pre-clerkship without a car, and found the commute to campus to be decent (either by biking along the TVP, or taking bus 6/106/13) . Generally, anywhere along Richmond street would allow you to bus to campus and all three hospitals, assuming you'll get to do observerships soon. Other popular options are the Cherryhill/proudfoot area (bus routes 10/33?), anywhere along Wharncliffe road (routes 2/102), and the Bayfield Hall near campus. As others have said, the housing guide will hopefully give you more information! Although it's possible to get through all four years without a vehicle, having a car made my life 10 times easier during third and fourth year, both in terms of everyday convenience and rotation scheduling; I felt that those without a car had more limited options when picking rotations. Even during pre-clerkship, many of the Distributed Education opportunities were much more feasible for those with access to a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shikimate Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Find a place near Masonville, you can either take the bus or walk to campus. It's also on the bus route to VH. I know people who biked x 4 years if that's your thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATP2002 Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hi ma17, I have a townhouse that I am looking to rent out. The rent is very reasonable, you can walk to LHSC or it is a ten minute bus ride. Feel free to call me at 905 330 4726 if you want more information.
