Housing
While it is your responsibility to secure your own living accommodations, we provide housing resources that can assist you in your search.
Nova Scotia is experiencing a shortage of rental housing, which means that finding long-term accommodation can be challenging and expensive. In a recent NSCC student survey, the majority of students report taking up to 4 months to secure a place to live for the long term.
To get you started, we recommend you use the NSCC Living in Nova Scotia: A Resource Guide for Students . This online resource covers important topics like:
- Nova Scotia culture and what to expect
- Signing a rental agreement, lease or contract
- Being aware of rental scams and
- How to live with others peacefully
