can anybody suggest me if i should take on campus accommodation or off campus accommodation.if money is not a problem can one enjoy on campus accommodation. does living on campus have any benefits or plus points ?

how many indians can i expect in the carleton living on campus ?


please help i am in big dilemma between on campus and off campus housing .
 
On Campus would be better coz you'll be meeting more new people from around the globe and getting better exposure. Plus there are always something happening on campus in which you can participate.

you would definitely end up living off campus.......... its much better and most indians in canada do so brother, it less costy, more room, you have your own food choice and some other benefits, if you are an undergraduate student then you will go for the on campus for the first year for enjoyment and all but otherwise like if you are a graduate student dont opt for on campus

would'nt it be better than staying alone ? i don't have friends in carleton . but i can surely make some while living in on campus accommodation.
 
Off campus accommodation is much better. No rules, No bars , You can drink, smoke, bring your girlfriend, Cook whatever you want and more over privacy. But On campus accommodation There will be certain rules and regulations you need to follow and Others students out there can be racist. Groups and Gangs, Violence, Drugs etc etc.

you are scaring bro :P

but i have heard the opposite that living on campus provides security . tough i agree with you that some students might be raciest . and there is no rule regarding drinking in on campus accommodation ,but smoking is not allowed .
