<p>It's REALLY cold here in the winter, so be prepared. Generally people take 15 hours of lectures a week and then another hour or so per lecture each week for conferences. It's not too expensive to live here, but expect to pay about $400-600 a month to sublet a room. Most students live in what we call the ghetto or just west of campus.</p>
<p>Cheerios,</p>
<p>you would need a really thick coat. ultra thick. also dont forget mittens and snow boots. If you live in residence and not appartments, then most of the residence are really nice. A year lease was ~12,000 CAD with meals included at new residence, not sure what a semester would be though. </p>
