The best option for a new student is to choose college residence in order to ensure a successful academic year. Living on campus housing helps ease the transition to college life. The residence halls are where a lot of the socializing takes place on campus. Residence has lots of advantages such as no utilities to pay, no bathrooms to clean, close proximity to classes, and usually some form of security. Moreover, you'll live with other students who have the same interests, needs and goals. You'll meet people who will make your college life pleasant and memorable. It is actually the easiest way to adjust to the new environment. To conclude, Humber residences provide an opportunity for independent living within a safe, secure and supportive environment. 

However, some students prefer off-campus housing. Most of those students choose shares accommodation as it is less costly, that is, a room in a house or apartment where rent, facilities, and duties are shared through a co-operative arrangement with others. In such cases as well, Humber helps students to find appropriate places by putting ads in the international office. In addition, there are websites available such as places4students.com which is one of the most trusted and reliable websites to hunt for apartment.

INTERNATIONAL CENTRE

International students often find it hard to adjust to this new school life. However Humber College greatly contributes in helping new students to get used to their new environment. Various events are organized during the first week of school, so called ‘frosh week’ and the international centre organizes tours such as

·       CN Tower

·       Niagara Falls

·       Downtown Toronto Walking Tour

·       North Campus Meet N’ Greet

Furthermore, the language here is a big issue since English is not our first language and we have a different accent. Sometimes, it is difficult for us to communicate and at the same time hard for the receiver to understand us. In this particular case too, Humber helps by offering ESL classes as compulsory module to help students be more comfortable with spoken English. Different types of scholarships are also offered in order to motivate students.

Since all international students should have a health care insurance, Humber ensures that all international students get the basic health care. Its cost is included within the tuition fees.

‘Where to live?’ is a big question which all international students ask themselves. Actually Humber makes your life easier. The on-campus residence can accommodate more than 1450 students. Once you receive your acceptance letter and the student visa, you will be eligible to apply for residence online. Some students prefer to live off-campus and the international centre will help by posting ads for available room for rent around Humber College.
