How much is the Brandon Residence per week? I'm at the Webster and it's US$240.

any recommendations?
your best bet for montreal would probably be craigslist or classifieds on the mcgill university website http://www.mcgill.ca/classified/
a lot of students sublet their places for the summer!~ hope that helps

and for toronto i would say check out the classified ads or student housing pages for the universities/colleges in toronto

Thanks diorable that's not bad either! Pity that it's so far up though, but I may consider staying there when I come back to New York You have to let us know how it is if you do end up staying there!

Most definitely ! Although I just called this afternoon and they said they were behind schedule and that I needed to call back in a week to see if I get a room for the summer . Hopefully they'll be on schedule by next week because otherwise I'll need to apply to NYU housing. The $50 nonrefundable fee for the Brandon hopefully won't go to waste and I'll get accepted .

diorable I'm sure it'll be fine. I was so stressed when I had to apply for the Webster but it was a breeze. Back then I only knew about the Webster.

Are there any other similar places to the Webster and the Brandon in other cities, say Paris?

Don't know about Paris but I don't think there's anything considerable in London. I mean you might have people rent room's for the rez's from the Uni of London schools but I've never heard of people doing that. Plus they don't have that much rez space available. Most people I know, just look for short term lets off gumtree (though in London, this is mostly occupied by Aussies and Saffa's - good if your one of them, not so great if you're not) and other local websites.

Hey just to jump in and say that a lot of the London universities do open up their halls for the holidays. I stayed in some LSE accomodation for a week that was really reasonably priced.

I've just got to say that this is a fantastic thread! Thanks everyone!

I'm thinking of moving to NYC this coming year and am also looking for housing options. Safety and location are number one for me, so all this info is really helpful!

Almost forgot... this is a great map I stumbled onto that I think does a great job of describing the different areas in Manhattan for those who are looking:

^^ i'm not currently in NY but plan on moving in the future. when i get bored at work i like to check out rental sites - to be in the know and for future references

what type of accommodations are you looking for? a room or studio?

i find craiglist to be pretty good as well but i find you get some "peculiar/creepy" posts once in awhile. so beware and be cautious but that usually goes without saying
