A 5 Bed 5 Bath setup gives 49 Columbia Street a slightly different feel from the usual shared student apartment. Located at 49 Columbia St W, Waterloo, N2L 3K4, Canada, this student housing is within a 16-minute walk of Wilfrid Laurier University. Conestoga College Waterloo Campus is just a 3-minute drive.
Waterloo appeals not only because it is a university city. Its population is relatively well educated, with more than 45% of residents aged 15 years or older holding a bachelor's degree or higher, based on data from Statistics Canada. Its walk score is in the low 60s, given the source, and its bike score is about 79, per walk score. With safety, numbers from Numbeo give a crime index of about 31.5 and a safety index of about 68.5 for Waterloo. These numbers give a general idea of a city where students get to have university life while maintaining a relatively active, walkable, and cycle-friendly lifestyle.
