You've received an offer to UWaterloo and one of the big questions on your mind might be “Where am I going to live?”. This webinar addresses your housing options as a graduate student, both on- and off-campus. Learn about the different types of graduate student housing we offer, eligibility requirements, application deadlines, and resources and supports for your off-campus housing search. The Q&A in the second half of the webinar with our campus housing experts (starting at the 49 minute mark) also provides lots of great information.
