Check https://offcampus.uwo.ca/ regularly. For on-campus housing options, please contact housing@uwo.ca and visit https://residence.uwo.ca/resources/international_exchange_student_guide/index.html for more information.
Websites to look for housing and roommates. They are all active and theres i usually always something available:
- https://www.facebook.com/groups/900820483299228
- https://www.facebook.com/groups/1572498759686621
- https://offcampus.uwo.ca/listings/
- Rental.Ca
- Realtor.Ca
- Kijiji.Ca
Some points that would help you a lot in finding a home:
- Pay attention to property information, some of them may include the utilities, and some may not. If not, you will pay for them extra.
- Try to find a room near bus stops going directly to the university. This is especially important in Winter. Routes 10,27,2,6,31,33 are good choices.
- Finding a room in person is so much easier, so you can find a sublet for your first month and then look for room.
- Find a permanent room before September, as after September it would be very challenging with the entire university being back in full swing.
