Hi all,

UVic housing is quite expensive compared to other places that you can rent. If anyone hasn't checked out these renting sites yet, please do explore them here.
Craigslist: http://victoria.craigslist.ca/
Used Victoria: http://www.usedvictoria.com/classifieds/apartment-rentals?pricefrom=1&priceto=499&wanted_ind=N
Kijiji: http://www.kijiji.ca/b-room-rental-roommate/victoria-bc/c36l1700173

The other thing to consider as you explore your options is bus transit and utilities/amenities (such as heat, internet, laundry, shopping malls, etc.)
Bus Transit: The distance from where you hope to live to UVic helps you to estimate (using Google maps) how long it will take you to arrive for your classes, go shopping, go for recreational activities, etc.

Compare your findings with these UVic housing fees:

Plan carefully, be smart with your dollars, and don't live in an unhealthy place either.

As you do that, don't forget to register for your winter session courses (Fall & Spring).

Cheers!

Thanks a lot

Sailing in the same boat ! When are you guys flying ? I'm thinking of taking a place after reaching & seeing things first before deciding anything

I found a place off campus (It was on Uvic off campus listing)
Its a sublet so its cheap and just for three months.

I would recommend Uvic off campus listing its good
Or book bed and breakfast for a week and look for a place after arriving in Canada.
