Douglas College, New Westminster, British Columbia - Accommodation

I rented out a basement suite close to the college. It costs close to 1100 a month for your stay with your basic expenses My roommates used to cook for me so that was a plus but yes learn to cook before coming as an international student. Would recommend this college to a domestic student for sure. But for international things can get a bit tedious.

I went through IDP. The admission process was simple and straightforward. I gave my IELTS and applied for enrolment. I paid my fees and once I had my offer letter I applied for my visa. IELTS preparation took a week for me.

I lived in three places throughout my education. The first was a two month accommodation in a 2BHK, in Burnaby, with a roommate, where I paid $825 for the room. The second was also a room (smaller) in a house, in Surrey, where I paid $550, and currently I live in a room (large room with a porch) in a house in Vancovuer, where I pay $750.

I liked the program, because of the variety of courses which were being offered. My intension was to build on my Tech Stack, along with my portfolio as a Software Developer. Additionally, it was quite affordable.

There are two options renting a apartment or a basement, renting a basement is much more affordable and yes pretty much everyone shares room until you want to live in college facility which is very expensive

I have heard good feedback about the college and especially about the instructors. Apart from this it was convenient for me to travel as it was near by the place i was living

Our college was on a hill and there was a sky train station which helped us get through the college. Though it would help to have had something to help us get up the college from the hill. There was no off campus hostel.

Good Reputation school. With two different campus and so many good programs. I had a variety of classes and programs. The teachers were good and the cafe was excellent. It is a very diverse college with students coming from all corners of the world.

Douglas College is much more adorable which is better in an economic way of thinking and they have smaller class sizes which make it easier for the teacher to help and communicate directly with each and every student.
