Australian looking for a home
Hi Everyone,
I'm an exchange student from Australia coming to McMaster this Fall Term. I am a Third Year student doing Mechanical Engineering and Finance (double degree) and was wondering where a good place to stay would be.
I've been informed on campus residence is generally First years and that I would probably be too late to apply anyway, so I am currently looking for off campus residence. I have taken a look at macoffcampus however I just see a lot of houses in areas I have no idea about. I will be unable to check out houses before I arrive as I am only arriving to Hamilton around the 20th of August near semester start.
Ideally I would like to be close to McMaster with social housemates (possibly exchange students) that would be keen to go out a few times a week. It doesn't bother me if my housemates are male or female I tend to get along with everyone. I'm not too fussed with the place I stay (as long as its not a huge dump) I'm more focused on location and the people.
Is there anyway to search for houses based on these preferences? If anyone could recommend good housing options or at least areas, that would be great.
Cheers,
Mark
