To the U Sask crew, I checked the university website for campus housing and there are a couple of options for graduate students. Check the Seager Wheeler Hall and Voyageur Place on campus. For myself I would personally prefer the on campus housing because I am not from Saskatchewan and I will need a place that is fully furnished. Campus housing will definitely be closer and includes utilities (not sure about internet). The only down side is the rental is only for 8 months. I completed the online application for housing a while ago and I am unsure whether I will get in. Campus housing tends to go fast.
Living off campus gives you flexibilities which most people prefer and the rent may be cheaper than on campus (depending on where you live). However, you will have to sign the lease, find a good location, monthly utilities payment, moving in your furniture etc.
Since I am unfamiliar with Saskatoon, I think I will stick to on campus. These are my thoughts for now and please let me know what you guys think!
Cheers,
