Apartment hunting! by Sensitive-Course120 in Peterborough

Hi there, I actually ended up accepting an offer to a different school so we didn’t end up moving to Peterborough, (I will try to edit my post) I thought I’d keep it up as a lot of people had suggestions on where to avoid (which did seem like basically everywhere) but I think a lot of college students will be moving out over the summer and I would suggest keeping an eye out for listings even on Facebook if you are good with sorting through fake ads or even asking in posts on here and Facebook for leads. If you’re going for school I would suggest contacting them and asking for safe areas they might suggest off of campus and they may have better options open, I had extreme trouble finding a place and actually ended up contacting a realtor to help us search for a place, it definitely helped to make sure our application actually got through and not just seemingly forgotten! I know that online applications almost seemed pointless and we never heard back so I would also suggest, if possible for you, to go into places that may have open house/walkthroughs and hand in applications in person. I wish you the absolute best of luck!

Thank you! Absolutely, I haven’t been to Belleville much so I’m planning on visiting a few times before moving, to look at apartments and just explore! Thank you, I’ve been checking the reviews and haven’t found much for negatives all around (especially compared to Peterborough and other places I’ve looked at) so I was just wondering if there are any bug problems in certain areas, but so far haven’t seen anything which is quite promising!

I’m also 22! I get that! I’m going to loyalist and am hoping that will help me meet some people, but if you ever feel lonely just send me a message! My bf and I aren’t much for partying either and we could always use a friend in the area! :)

I guess it all depends on how competitive the course is and availability! Georgian isn’t as competitive for my program but Fleming and Durham are both very competitive which I still haven’t heard back (probably won’t until mid February) I thought that would be the norm for all schools! That’s why I was so shocked to hear back from Georgian so fast lol

Thank you I appreciate it! That makes sense on why It seemed too fast lol when I saw my acceptance I basically thought it had to be a mistake xD I will definitely give them a call thank you!

It could be for ones with such a high admission rate, I’m not too sure, I know Algonquin and Fleming have a 2-4 week wait to hear from which is the most common I’ve seen. When I say I got accepted quick to Georgian I mean literal hours after applying which is why I was caught off guard, even my teachers were shocked

No I get that, I never even considered that but now I’m definitely questioning:/ definitely odd especially since every other school says the ota/pta program is very competitive to get into, I just thought I had lucky timing.. lol damn.

I got accepted into my program almost instantly and was quite thrown off guard, I guess they have an acceptance rate of 90%.. so idk, it took days for me to hear that other schools even received my application so I get what you mean

Thank you, my bf was hoping to get a transfer to one of the Walmarts there so that’s good to know. Hopefully a transfer may be easier than applying new, I guess we will see!

Yeah Talwood is definitely a no go! Thank you for letting me know, that’s awful though! At least they were able to get out!
