my name is Katie McLain and I'm the
coordinator of commuter experience and
rental living off-campus living provides
support for all off-campus students so
whether you're living at home with your
family or you're renting love or you're
commuting from out of town
we provide events and activities we do
lease reviews we do tenant advising and
we're here to support you through your
whole experience as an off campus
student we define a commuter as anybody
that lives off campus so it's not just
people that are commuting from out of
town
it's also people that are renting in
Guelph or living with their families if
you're a first year and you're living
off campus this year I know it's a bit
disappointing that you can't live in res
but we're here to build that community
for you so we have teams groups on
Microsoft teams and we're gonna be
running events all year long for
off-campus students to connect so you
can still build those friendships from
afar and one of my favorite events is
the commuter cafe we'll be doing all of
those online this year so we can connect
with you and chat about resources that
you can still access from home all year
long if you're looking for a place to
rent in Guelph the University partners
with places for students comm there are
a lot of listings up there right now you
can also check rent Panda CA the canon
dot CA and other classifieds in the City
of Guelph to find listings places her
students even has a roommate finder tool
so you can actually find other people
who live within Guelph if you're coming
on your own and looking for just a room
in a house over the summer we'll be
running some webinars with landlords and
property managers in the City of Guelph
so you can get that perspective from not
just me at the University but people who
are in the rental market and have a
great understanding of what's going on
there if you're looking for any
information about living off campus
during Kovach check out the FAQ is on
the University of Guelph Colvin website
I love golf because it's a really nice
size you can get to know your neighbors
and you run into people all the time so
you really feel at home which makes the
off-campus living experience really
awesome
