QUESTION: ...Okay this sucks.
I'm an international student, planning to come to Canada for my last uni term sometime late August/early September. My place won't be available until September 5th, not allowed to move in before that. Conference Centre at UW closes at August 28th... And I have an OWeek position on top of that. What should I do? Is there any place I can stay from something like 28 Aug until Sept 5 without having to pay a shitload of money for a hotel?
Oweek sucks, you might as well not go
ReplyDeleteAirbnb?
ReplyDeleteIf you know anyone here you can see if you can crash on their couch and put your stuff in their basement/somewhere in their apartment.
ReplyDeleteOr you could talk to someone the conference center and see if they can help at all.
Check out Air B n B for KW region.
ReplyDeleteTBH I would forget the o-week stuff because a hotel will be expensive for that week. Also, the CC closes on August 28 because those rooms are used for incoming frosh when they move in starting Aug 30/31
ReplyDeleteyou could look into the st. paul's graduate building guest rooms which is on campus https://uwaterloo.ca/stpauls/guest-rooms-conferences
ReplyDeleteit's $95 a night but discounted if you stay more than 7 nights and/or are a UW student apparently.
I don't have jack shit to do you can stay at my place for 30 bucks a night
ReplyDeleteyes, please contact anon for this offer.
Deletelol, I'm not a chick btw, if that's fine, hell yeah 30 bucks sound alright!
DeleteI strongly recommend going to oweek. Definitely worth it - you meet so many new people
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the AirBnB suggestion! I didn't know about that before, definitely worth giving a look! -OP
