Deciding where to live is really important because your living conditions will affect your physical, mental, and educational health. Choosing wisely will help optimize your study conditions and deal with stress. Sometimes students have had negative experiences living in cheap and crowded situations, and their grades and health have suffered as a result.
It is important to do your research about where to live. Sometimes, students have negative experiences. However, in Canada, renters have legal rights. You should be aware of what they are.
