Housing
While it is your responsibility to secure your own living accommodations, we offer campus housing at a number of NSCC locations and also provide housing resources that can assist you in your search for off-campus accommodations.
Living on Campus
We currently offer housing at 6 NSCC campus locations, with more locations coming soon. Learn more about campus housing expectations, accessible housing options, important dates, deadlines and how to submit your application by checking out our Housing subsite.
Living off campus
Nova Scotia is experiencing a shortage of rental housing, which means that finding long-term accommodation can be challenging and expensive. In a recent NSCC student survey, the majority of students report taking up to 4 months to secure a place to live for the long term.
To get you started, we recommend you use the NSCC Living in Nova Scotia: A Resource Guide for Students . This online resource covers important topics like:
- Nova Scotia culture and what to expect
- Signing a rental agreement, lease or contract
- Being aware of rental scams and
- How to live with others peacefully
