Alternate options
Off-Campus Housing
Some students at uWaterloo choose to live off campus in the Kitchener-Waterloo community. uWaterloo's Off-Campus Housing office can help. We offer an online Off-Campus Housing Listing service that can be accessed from anywhere.
The Off-Campus Housing Office, located in the Student Life Centre, also provides:
- a list of local apartment building addresses and phone numbers
- sublet agreement forms
- information on Bed and Breakfasts in the area
- assistance to students looking for a place, or experiencing problems with the place they’ve found
- additional resources to help you with your search
Helpful hints
- Start your search early! Whether you’re looking for housing on or off-campus, spaces are limited, especially during the fall term (September to December).
- Note that most self-contained apartments aren’t furnished, except for stove and refrigerator.
- Be aware that rental and lease periods will vary, but 12-month leases are standard.
- Look for places that are located on a bus route - Grand River Transit makes stops on campus.
Are you arriving on campus early?
Temporary accommodation on campus is available during the months of May to August. Contact UW Conferences Services (519-884-5400) for more information.
