The information on this page is intended ONLY for students coming to the University of Toronto through the Centre for International Experience exchange program.
International exchange students have a number of housing options. Below is an overview to help you decide which option is suitable for you.
Living on-campus
Exchange students at the St. George campus can apply for residence by submitting a St. George General Residence Application.
While a residence offer is not guaranteed, spaces in some residences can become available in July and August or partway through the fall term (September-December). Or some spaces will also become available by the start of the winter term (January-April). If you are planning to start at U of T St. George in the winter term and would like to stay in residence, we recommend submitting a general residence application.
Refer to the residence application for international exchange students for additional information.
Residence-style living (off-campus)
There are a number of independently owned and operated residence-style accommodations that are located near the St. George campus. These are not operated by the University of Toronto.
Residence-style accommodations primarily house post-secondary students and offer private or shared rooms. This option may be suitable if you want to live with other students and prefer a furnished space.
To explore available listings:
- Visit the Off-Campus Housing Finder.
- Select “Residence Hall/Dorm Style”.
- Review available listings.
As these buildings are owned and operated by private companies, you will need to do your own research and contact them directly for pricing, amenities, and applications.
The University assumes no responsibility in regard to any agreements entered into by students/residents with these residences, and makes no representations or warranties and assumes no responsibility for the conditions of services provided at these residences.
Living off-campus
Exchange students also have the option to search for accommodation in the private rental market by using online property-listing sites.
Since the most common lease term in Toronto’s rental market is 12 months, short-term options may be more limited. Being flexible with budget, distance from campus, and accommodation preferences will be necessary to secure a unit.
When looking for rental housing, we strongly recommend you view the place in person prior to signing a lease. If you are not physically in the city prior to the start of term, our temporary housing listings are a great way to find a short-term place to stay while looking for something more permanent.
Refer to our collection of off-campus living resources or go directly to the Off-Campus Housing Finder to view current rental ads.
