Off-Campus Accommodation

Information about living off-campus is avalable on Off-campus Registry at https://brocku.ca/ocl/

If you follow this link, you will see options of choosing between apartments or houses. If you desire to live in a separate apartment, it may cost you approximately $700 per month. On the other hand, if you choose to live in a house with a few other students, the price of one room will approximately be $350 - $480 per month.

When choosing to rent an apartment or house, you need to consider what is included in the cost. If you are an international student, you may prefer your accomodations to be furnished (bed, desk and chair). You will want to ask if the cost per month includes utilities (heating and electricity), laundry facilities, cable, Internet or phone as these may be additional costs.

Off Campus Living & Neighbourhood Relations office is also helping students on issues with landlords or lease agreements. This help is for all Brock students not only for students found housing through this office. Contact them if you need any this kind of help.
