    Student Accommodation Vancouver

    Many students from all over the world move to Vancouver each year to pursue their higher education. Some of the most prestigious and well-known universities are located in the city, and the majority of them offer students the option of living on campus in the residence halls. However,  there is an issue with the ease of availability of these rooms since they tend to fill up fast and these university dorms are more expensive. There are various off-campus Vancouver rentals for students that are close to the institutions and reasonably priced to make it easier for international students.

    Student accommodation in Vancouver comes in a variety of styles, with some located near the city centre giving students access to everything they need and with a few others conveniently placed near the public transit network system. Keeping the students’ comfort & convenience in mind, UniAcco offers student housing in Vancouver - each tailored to their tastes, preferences and budget. These housing options include everything from opulent, fully equipped properties to cost-effective, modest apartments. These are some of the best on the market for students, with completely furnished rooms that are stacked with features and facilities. Some of the top housing options at UniAcco include - Beatrice St, W 42nd Ave, Richards St, E 58th Ave, Granville St, and more.

     

    About Vancouver

    Vancouver is the largest city on Canada's West Coast, located amid stunning natural surroundings. There will never be a dull moment in this city, with a British history looming in its corners, an East Asian feel, and a diverse blend of nations. According to the New York Times, Vancouver is "the Manhattan with mountains.  It's a liquid city, a tomorrow city, equal parts India, China, England, France, and the Pacific Northwest. It's the cool North American sibling." Top universities and colleges in this city provide programmes that combine theory and practice. The city is recognised as a programming hotspot and is ideal for students who are interested in information technology.

    Vancouver welcomes overseas students from all around the world. Around 10,000 international students study at the city's institutions. It is proud of its diverse population, making it one of the most hospitable places for students wishing to study abroad. It is easy to find excellent student accommodation in Vancouver located near its top universities.

     

    Student Housing Vancouver

    Finding cheap accommodation in Vancouver for students may seem daunting or overwhelming at first. However, with several housing options available right near the university, it has become easier today to find their ideal student accommodation in Vancouver. Students may pick from a range of room options based on their budget and location, including student studios, student flats, shared and en-suite apartments, and student apartments. All of these units are completely furnished and have cutting-edge facilities such as a common area, gaming zone, study room, card-operated laundry, pool table, television, bike storage, and more.

    Students can pick their choice of Vancouver accommodation at UniAcco with rooms starting from as little as CAD 500 and going up to CAD 1300 per month. All utility bills are included in the rent and students even have the option of using the ‘Compare’ feature in order to compare up to 4 properties at once and make their housing choice accordingly. Along with housing expenses, there are many more factors that impact a student’s cost of living, however, rent happens to take up a large portion of the amount. It is therefore important to choose the right student accommodation in Vancouver that suits both preferences & budget.
     

    Best Places To Stay In Vancouver

    Mesmerising beaches, breathtaking parks, low crime rates, unique architecture, public healthcare system, and more are a few of the factors that attract students from all over the world. There are several student-friendly areas that offer houses for rent in Vancouver for international students. Students can either opt to live in the city centre, near their universities or in more affordable areas that are well-connected to public transportation. Some of the most popular areas in Vancouver include -

    • Downtown: Students in Downtown, Vancouver are only minutes away from the main retail sector (Robson Street and Pacific Centre Mall), the commercial district, and Granville Street's entertainment zone. The Seawall and Stanley Park are also nearby. Rent in Downtown, Vancouver varies depending on the exact location. Popular places to rent student accommodation in Vancouver in the Downtown area include -
    • West End
    •  Yaletown
    • Gastown
    • Coal Harbour
    • Kitsilano: Kitsilano ("Kits") on Vancouver's West Side is home to many young families and students. It is bordered by two of Vancouver's most well-known beaches, Kits Beach and Jericho Beach. It also offers stunning views of Downtown and the North Shore mountains. There are also yoga studios, organic stores, cafés, and Vancouver's Greektown in Kitsilano. Rent is pricey in the Kits Beach area, but costs drop dramatically as you travel west towards UBC.
    • East Vancouver: East Vancouver, sometimes known as "East Van," comprises the neighbourhood east of Main Street. This area is full of diverse Vancouver residences with affordable rents. This region of Vancouver has far more cheap student housing than the Downtown core.
    • Mainstreet: This area begins in Gastown, and extends south via Chinatown and the Downtown Eastside. It is a fashion, art, and design centre, as well as a diversified and reasonably priced location for supermarkets, restaurants, and cafés. Local artists and designers flock to this site in Vancouver.

    • Grouse Mountain: As the peak of Vancouver, this mountain is a centre for outdoor activities all year long. Whether students are interested in hiking or ziplining in the summers or ice skating and snowshoeing in the winters, there are plenty of activities to pick up at this Grouse Mountain.
    • Pacific Arts Market: This market comprises a 2,500-square-foot gallery space that features art, jewellery, and other handmade crafts from over 40 artists in and around Vancouver and British Columbia.
    • Richmond Night Market: The concept of night markets may be something new and exciting for international students. Richmond Night Market is open on weekends and holiday evenings from May to October and is regarded as the largest night market in North America.
