Homestay/housing options for 1st semester?
Hi all, I'm headed over to SFU next month for a second degree (in CS). I'm looking at homestay for my first semester because I'm an international student and don't know anyone in BC. I've never done a homestay before but I've heard it's pretty good from my friends when they went to Canada (ie one of my friends who went to Toronto and ended staying with the homestay family for 2+ years) and roommates are a hit-or-miss chance you have to take (at least in the USA, from personal experience doing my first degree)
Any recommendations for homestay (or other living options) and/or reviews for those who have done it before? I'm kind of leaning towards fciPlacement (one of the homestay recommendations on SFU's website) but there's not much information/reviews on it. Ideally I'd like to live as close to campus and a Skytrain/bus/public transport route as possible with a furnished (incl bed) bedroom. Thanks in advance.
