Hostel:
Accommodation and expenses come to around 700CAD which is not expensive. This can be earned by part-time work.
This university falls under 150 ranks in the world. And Ottawa is not expensive as compared to other cities in Canada.
Hostel:
Better to stay privately rather than university accommodation
I chose this university as I heard from my seniors that the opportunities are good.

Renting an apartment is easy and online. You can confirm your apart before coming here and I advise you do that. It cost $1700-$2000 for a 2 BHK (not in downtown). So if you share a bedroom it will be $500 each. They are private rooms available at $ 600-$700 near the university. If you go far you might also get a private room for $500.
The University of Ottawa is one of the top 10 universities in Canada. There are many good opportunities and also an Indian crowd so you don’t feel lonely in a foreign land.

No, I live off-campus.
The University of Ottawa is a really good university for Civil Engineering. My major is in structural engineering and the university is very well known for that. The course structure is really flexible. Also, there are a lot of choices in courses for structural engineering.
I chose the University of Ottawa's Bachelor of Commerce with a specialization in accounting because of the amazing Co-op program they have and I loved the feel of the university and its location. I learned about the school at the Ontario University Fair and then toured it and it totally lived up to my expectations. I only applied to two universities and got into uOttawa a week after I applied with a pretty large scholarship.
I opted for this specific college because it was close to home which means that I was able to still live at home while I attended classes instead of staying in residence. I also chose this school because it seemed like the only way I can still take french classes and keep in touch with my second language

I live in residence off-campus. It is an amazing experience meeting your roommates and making friends through residence events. I did not have a meal plan because it was near $4,500 for the year. One challenge was cooking because the room I had had a kitchenette with just one mini-fridge, microwave, and sink for 4 people.
The school is known as one of the best research institutes and I received an undergraduate research scholarship. It also offered co-op and had many opportunities with the government. The admissions average for my program was also very low for me as I only needed to maintain a 75% in the sciences while I had the 90s. The other schools I apply to, Guelph and Waterloo were a bit more picky with averages.

I lived on campus with a meal plan. A problem I faced was the quality of the food. The meal plan cost $5000 for the year and the food was sub-par. Often food was bland, dry, and they often ran out of bread, bagels, etc. making breakfast difficult. I ended up spending a lot of money eating outside due to this. Other than this, the meal hall was open 24/7 which is very unique and great for studying.
I chose this university because of the amazing city of Ottawa. I have always been a fan of small towns but didn't want to lose the downtown hectic feel of Toronto, and Ottawa has a mixture of both! It has a crazy amount of multiculturalism and people there are extremely nice and supportive of minorities.
I chose the University of Ottawa because they offered a coop program. I also chose this school because I felt that as I wanted to go into account the fact that their business program allowed you to specialize early on was a plus.
