The University of Calgary opened up its doors ahead of the new school year to nearly 2,000 students, planning to live on campus.
“Our staff are super-excited to welcome students,” said Shane Royal, senior director for ancillary services at the University of Calgary.
“We have between 16 to 1,700 moving in today with about 1,250 first year students, which is the biggest number we've ever had for first year students.”
Royal says with increased rental rates and limited supply of housing, students are focused on securing an affordable place to stay on campus.
“We do see more demand for our housing, because we're somewhat more affordable than what the city is, at this point, with some of the increases we've seen,” he said.
