Should I stay in hostel or take a room for rent while studying in Australia or Canada?

I strongly feel that one should stay in a hostel for at least first 6 months. It helps to know the university, students, teachers, place, etc. well and relieves you of the stress of finding a place. Also, the university provides basic food, wifi, electricity, etc. (the basics of living). So you can set yourself well to begin a new life. Once settled in culture and city then living outside will be more comfortable. Also, some universities will let you stay in a hostel that is independent. I mean your own apartment if you wish too. These are expensive but you will be taken good care of. And, you can focus on what is needed the most- education!

Hello, To stay on campus or off campus depends on your personal liking & the level of education. In case you are going for undergrad, staying on campus is a better idea & is preferred by most universities. While if you are there for Masters, most students live off campus & find their ways of much economical living through networking the moment they finalize universities. In both Australia & Canada, you have ample Indians to look forward to help & you will see most Masters students living off campus. However, living in hostels for first few months is very much beneficial for getting adjusted to culturally different counties.
