"" The best location and one I most enjoyed was the area south of campus off Western Rd. where a large contingency of graduate students reside (Platt's Lane Estates) or even a bit further south where Western Rd. turns in Wharncliffe. The rent in this area is affordable, it's on IMO the most convenient bus route (#2) which is a 5-10min max bus ride to the core of campus or downtown. There is also a shopping mall called Cherry Hill Village close by within walking distance with a 24hour grocery store that has a reasonable selection and prices. ""
I read this post by a previous poster and searched for some houses around this area. I will probably end up in this area. It's far from 5-10 min bus ride? Gold - I'll probably walk to school. Close to shopping/grocery centre? Gold. It is also close the entertainment district and away from the majority of undergrads.
Are you fimilar with this area? What do you know about it? How is the atmosphere etc.. As long as the atmosphere isn't "dead". This is my first time moving away for school. I've always commuted/went to a commuter school.
