Queen's Accommodation

[Monchhichi]

I was wondering for those who are going to Queen's (especially for OT), have you started to look for a place to live?

I have started looking but only casually, I'm heading into PT in the fall though. I'm not from the area and will be travelling from NOva Scotia so I'm trying to figure out my best options.

Hey are you guys looking for on or off campus residency?

[kn698645]

I have no idea, looking for suggestions from people who may know the area/options better then I do. What are your thoughts on what would be the best experience?

Did my undergrad @ queen's. Live off campus! It's way more fun. Try to live with some of the peeps from your program this yr. On-campus is mainly for first year undergraduates

I looked into the graduate residence earlier today and it seems that they are most geared to families and couples. They're pretty expensive and you have to pay for laundry and parking on top of rent.

 

I tried to look at off campus housing too but I'm not familiar with the area so I don't know what's near the school or not.

Plus living on campus is quite expensive. I am looking for places that don't exceed $500 per month.

Thanks! I will definitely be looking into off campus housing then. Unfortunately I don't know anyone in my program, so if any PT's are looking for a room mate send me a message!

Hopefully someone starts a facebook PT And OT group, It would just be easier to find roommates and discuss other issues.

my friend lived at 475 princess

its close to princess and albert

i visited her a couple of times, it's pretty decent

not beautiful but functional

i think she paid about 400/month + utilities on top

 

It's also walking distance to a bar called The Brass! I've only been there once, but they made a good impression! Awesome wings! Our first waitress was so friendly, we tipped her even though she had to pass us onto another waitress cause her shift was over. Only bad thing was that the DJ was being picky! wouldn't play our requested songs! >=[

I'll definitely be looking for roommates as well so hopefully a Facebook group pops up soon

Same here, I am also looking roomate (preferably female roomates) to share space.

I was wondering if anyone has problem setting up their queen's email account. I enter my student number and birth date, but an error message appears
