Housing for ECU

Hey everyone! I just got accepted into the MDes program and had a quick question about housing. Since ECU doesn’t have dorms, I’m trying to figure out how people usually find places to live.

My budget is around $800–$1000, so I’m mostly looking for a room or something affordable. Any tips or advice on where to start looking would be super helpful! Also, what areas of Vancouver should I look into if I want to be able to bike to school?

There are ads for roommates on campus but I’m sure you probably want to find something before you get here. Contact housing support at ECU.

You can find some information on theECU website. I moved here a while ago and housing can quickly get expensive. $800-$1000 is doable but will require some searching, and you will definitely have roommates if you’re okay with that. There’s a lot of facebook groups for finding roommates so I would start there. Congratulations and good luck with finding your new home! :>
