Depending on where you choose to live, it can actually be more cost-effective to live off campus. If you work off-campus, a new location can cut down on travel expenses commuting from campus to your work place. Curious to see which Vancouver neighbourhood boasts the lowest average rent?

Off-campus housing, in contrast, is rented for the entire year. This is particularly helpful if you have a job near your school enabling you to stay during breaks in the academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though moving away from dorm life can be a scary decision, the potential benefits often outweigh any concerns.
