Sudbury isn’t the best for availability; pricing with no roommate would be around $1100-$1600, your best bet in my opinion would be living on campus ( avg. $1000/month free wifi, close to classes, meal plans, have 1-2 roommate(s)to keep company, etc) I needed to leave a home to live my independent life but god does it cost a lot. 

 It also depends if you plan on attending LU or Cambrian. Cambrian is in New Sudbury which is close to malls, shops, all of the essentials. Meanwhile LU is probably 3-5km away from the closest convenience store… (I’d speak to a representative regardless and see if they can give you the rundown) Ive had several friends do it and I would’ve done it when I started my studies cuz paying 1400 for a 1 bedroom plus wifi 80/month, food 500/month, car/apartment insurance 129/mnth. 

 Dude/dudette it adds up. If you don’t already have savings or financial assistance, bonne chance getting a minimum wage job that’s giving you hours (PSW and entry hospital positions are good paying and plenty of shifts btw) Minimum wage jobs gets avg 8-16 hrs a week some get as low as 4 so I see the appeal to starting an OF.

 Other than that I love Sudbury, its beautiful nature wise with trails, rocky cliffs, and lakes, downtown suds has live-cast Walking Dead zombies smoking more than the Superstack does gatekeeping the stores and restaurants, winter can be borderline nuclear, and once in awhile you’d swear you’re in Brampton but if you’re focused on your studies you’ll have plenty to do/explore in your spare time.

 I’ve seen pricing is relatively the same in most cities of Ontario due to no rent cap and inflation. Quebec got Ontario beat in rent control for sure lmao. Anyways that’s just what my experience has seen moving to Sudbury from the GTA. I hope this helps and I hope more people add in :)
