The Cost Of University Housing Is High At Some Of The Best Schools

And We Thought University Tuition Was Pricey. Check Out The Housing Costs.
McGill

When it comes to university, passing a course is often the least of students' worries.

Even more daunting is the prospect of paying for post-secondary tuition. Or, in some cases, a place to live.

Kijiji has provided statistics that show just how much it costs to rent a place on or off campus while attending Canada's colleges or universities.

UPDATE: June 15 -- Kijiji has changed its numbers, and the numbers that initially appeared in this report can no longer be considered accurate. We have removed an infographic, a slideshow, and changed wording based on the new numbers provided.

McGill had the most expensive on-campus housing, at an average of $1,885 per month, followed by the University of Toronto at $1,807, Queens' University at $1,654, Trinity College at $1,588 and University of St. Michael's College at $1,581.

The cost of on-campus living represents an average that takes utilities into account.

Off-campus costs, meanwhile, are calculated by looking at listing prices exclusive of utilities in the same postal codes where the institutions are located.
