Athabasca University student housing????

Published

Hey all -

This is a question for anyone in Canada who has attended Athabasca University in the BN program.

I am a student at AU and I am enrolled in the LPN to BN program. I am currently just finishing up my Cluster A classes and will be beginning my Cluster B courses in January, 2018.

I live in BC and will be going to Alberta for a couple 4 week clinicals and I am starting to think logistically about where I will be living when I am not working at the clinical site. I don't believe AU has any form of student housing, so what do the out-of-province students do when attending clinical?

I do not know anyone who lives in Alberta, and I couldn't afford to live in a hotel for the whole month. So I'm just hoping maybe someone who has done it could give me some ideas, or anything really. I probably wont be starting any clinicals until the fall semester, but I need to start thinking about it.

If you know where and when you will be doing your clinical placements, you could check out airbnb 1 month sublet/short term rentals for those locations.

^ probably your best bet because student housing generally lease to students for at least 1 term if not for a year.

You could ask Athabasca if they have a list of people who do room rentals near their placements.
