Off Campus Housing
Pick an Apartment in the Neighborhood of Your Choice
While you're at CultureWorks, you can choose to find your own accommodations in the city of London. One distinct advantage you'll find at CultureWorks is the assistance we provide helping you transition into university and community life in Canada. CultureWorks will put you in touch with a suite of support services, such as the Off Campus Housing department at the University of Western Ontario, so you can focus on your education and not be distracted by your relocation.
The cost of living in London is quite reasonable, with one bedroom apartments averaging between $650 and $800 per month. Apartments closer to the university tend to be more expensive because of the additional convenience they provide. Other costs you should consider before choosing off campus housing include telephone hook-up, television cable costs, Internet connection charges, utilities (electricity and water) and groceries.
A one bedroom apartment in Canada will consist of a separate bedroom, kitchen, dining area, living room and a private bathroom.
