Student apartments for rent in Saskatoon

If you’re looking for a student rental apartment, you have to take into account two very important issues. First, you have to check if the apartment is furnished or if you have to incur the expenses to buy what you need to live there. Secondly, you have to check if the cost of utilities (heating, water, electricity, Internet, etc.) is included in the monthly price or if you’ll have to add an extra at the end of each month.

There are two main types of apartments to choose from. On the one hand, there are the studio apartments, which are going to be complete for you, so you’ll have to assume all the expenses. On the other hand, there are the apartments with several rooms that are to be shared among students, so the expenses are divided among all those who live there.

Student rooms for rent in Saskatoon

The rooms that you’ll find for rent in this city are usually individual and fully furnished with everything necessary for a student. That is, as a minimum they usually have a bed, bedding, closet, desk and chair to study. Also, in Canada it’s very common that all the rooms and areas of the apartments are well conditioned for the winter cold, so you don't have to worry about that at all.

What you’re going to have to decide is whether you want to rent a room that’s part of a private shared apartment or a student residence. Each of these types of accommodation has different rules and regulations, so you have to see which one is ideal for you according to your preferences.

Student residences in Saskatoon

In this Canadian city, you’ll find both university student halls and private student residences. However, you should know that the offer of the latter is usually quite limited.
