Student Housing Options

When you come to Canada to study abroad, where can you live? Whether you want to live on campus or off campus there are many different options you can choose from.

Homestay

Homestay is a vital part of Okanagan College International Education's commitment to delivering a Canadian living and learning experience to our students.

Our program is an opportunity for cultural exchange between Canadians and International students. Host families learn about other countries and cultures and help students adjust to living in Canada. Students get more practice with their English and learn about Canadian lifestyles, values and customs.

Respect, consideration, courtesy and a willingness to adapt on the part of both students and hosts will help contribute to a positive homestay experience.

Dormitory

Okanagan College Student Residence is the place to live, study and play! The dorms give you affordable accommodation in a secure and friendly atmosphere, it is conveniently located, offers a wide variety of fun activities and gives you an opportunity to meet new people.

Private Accommodations

International students wanting to find their own accommodations have the options of looking on-line, in the classified section of the newspaper or by checking with the campus Student Union office
