Pick an Apartment in the Neighborhood of Your Choice

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 and dining area, living area and a private bathroom. Almost all apartments in Canada are unfurnished and you will need to purchase all furniture and kitchen items.
