More than 700 students at the University of Calgary applied to be on the waitlist for on-campus housing this year.

The on-campus residence experience also means Taillon wouldn’t have to worry about food. Many are required to buy a meal plan and eat at the various dining halls around campus.

Zumper says it analyzes its active inventory to provide real-time data and the rental data for Calgary is updated weekly. Crosby added young students have a harder time finding housing than most because landlords often discriminate against them. “They might also be a little bit stigmatized because people don’t want to rent to four or five students. They are stigmatized because they’re young and people worry that they might be partying, which is usually not the case with university students. They’re pretty serious about their education, but it just makes it all the more difficult for them.“They can’t prove their income. They might not be working. They’re relying on student loans. So it makes it really difficult.
