Most student share an apartment or house but not rooms. Graduate students pay around 400 to 900 CAD per month depending upon location.

I got offered funding which significantly reduced the financial burden. I got acceptance by American universities also but I preferred Canada.

I really don't know much about on-campus boarding as I am staying off-campus. On-campus is costly (around 800 CAD per month just rent). Better to look for off-campus places at rentfaster.ca or Kijiji.ca.

I wanted to get into this university because of the course structure and the city. Calgary is one of the best places in Canada to live. The fees are also low than other universities.

I live off-campus in my own house. However I know there are lots of amazing accomodation facilities available. There are rooms on campus, however there is an area near UofC called Brentwood (as well as other neighbourhoods) which have really cheap rentals, all within walking distance of campus and other amenities like the gym, grocery stores, etc..

I chose the University of Calgary because it offered a lot of perks. It has always been a dream of mine to go into medical school in Canada, and a strong undergrad program is an essential requirement. UofC Neuroscience is top-notch, and is a small cohort of highly motivated, intelligent individuals, as only 30 are accepted each year. It is ultra competitive, but worth it as I wanted to be with other like-minded people who were striving for the same goals as me. Additionally, this program has guaranteed research funding, and getting a research position is really simple ( a perk not offered in other science programs), so this definitely stuck out to me. Additionally, having an opportunity to do a Honours thesis on a field of neuroscience in my 4th yr sounded really cool to me.

I chose this school as it was close to my home and very convenient as I got to live at home with my family. Admissions are relatively easy as you submit all the information that they prompt you to submit, and wait until you hear back from them about acceptance. The application fee was fairly standard with other schools, at I believe around $75.
