sfugradstudent Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hello! Going to SFU for Latin American Studies MA in September too. I am from Minneapolis and this will be my first time in Vancouver, I'm excited! Is anyone looking for a roommate or have a room to rent? My husband will be joining me within 6 months, I hope (pending visa ..!!), but I'm looking to sublet a room for the first 4-6 months in a house/apartment with another female or males/females if there are multiple housemates. Somewhere around Commercial Drive, Kitsilano or downtwon would be ideal (i've been told), but I'm flexible. -Elizabeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest not living on Commercial Dr. Kitsilano or downtown as they are at least an hour away from SFU via public transit. It's a long haul to make every morning and back home in the afternoon. I suggest you look in the Burnaby/Port Moody/Coquitlam areas surrounding SFU as they are closer and would only take about a half hour to get to the school. SFU is in the suburbs and it's just not that easy to reach as it's on a mountain, meaning no train goes up there and bus transfers just to get to the campus are common.

Henry Hudson Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 I had friends who used to commute from North Van for their MAs, and found it doable. They suggested Commercial Drive to me, but I'm looking at Hastings, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still working on wrapping up my undergrad in Spanish and Women's Studies in the States, but SFU is one of the schools that I'm looking at for my graduate work. I am really interested in their Latin American Studies MA. Would you mind if I sent you a PM with some general questions I have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D0M Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Is anyone looking for roommates? I will be starting Simon Fraser in September in their Master of Public Health program.

I already have a place in Burnaby, but good luck to those searching! Rent is a bit expensive in this city... thanks, Zarc! I'm still keeping an eye out on the web, but won't do my serious looking until I arrive in mid-late August. probably do the hostel thing for a week while I hunt. I'm also open to roommates. I'm 43, male, and quiet. Anyone can feel free to message me, too. Edited July 9, 2011 by Henry Hudson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellerdoor Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Hello, I thought of renewing this thread to involve all the new admits this year. Would be nice to get to know fellow grad students attending this fall. Any tips on house rentals and how to go about looking for one over the web would be helpful.
