Accommodation
- Residence at Western
Exchange students accepted to Western will automatically receive a guaranteed offer of residence or be put on the waiting list, depending on availability. No official application is required. As there is a mandatory meal plan, staying on campus will usually be more expensive then off campus housing.
Room types & rates:

Assignment Priority: Students will have the chance to indicate their choice of residence, roommate, meal plan selections and other preferences, subject to availabilities.
Furnishing: Single-sized bed and bedding, closet, desk, desk lamp, chair, shelving unit, corkboard, waste and recycling bins.
Flying Chalks’ tip: Do note that students staying at Western Residences will also have to pay additional fees to subscribe for Internet service.
- Off campus housing
Many exchange students choose to stay off campus as it is relatively cheaper. Western provides Off-Campus Housing services where you can view rental listings and seek information and help with leasing. Rent can start from $200/month.

Western's Housing Mediation Services can also help to review your rental agreement for free.
Flying Chalks’ tips:
- You should inspect a place carefully before you rent and point out any damages to the landlord so that you do not get charged for them.
- You are not liable to pay for damages that are a reasonable part of normal wear and tear.
- Note that the landlord may ask you to pay the first and last month’s rent upfront.
- Garbage is not collected daily in London and you can only bring it out the night before collection day.
