Finding Somewhere To Live
Moving to a new place can be daunting, in particular finding somewhere to live. WAS understands this and we present the following options.
WINTER:
As the Winter season is challenging to find housing WAS has arranged Winter long term accommodation at HI Hostel*
(*November 15, 2019 to March 31, 2019 – WAS Accommodation package at HI Hostel $5385, tax included)
The accommodation booking is 4.5 months as we encourage students to arrive 10 to 12 days prior to the first class. This booking cannot be cancelled or shortened and must be prepaid in full by October 7th .
This is for one bed in a 4-bed shared room. Included is weekly housekeeping and linen changes as well. Only WAS students are eligible to live in the student rooms.
*This option will be booked through the Whistler Adventure School only (please do not contact the hostel directly for long-term accommodation as it is not offered to the public and cannot be booked directly).
Housing Recommendation
Where to look for housing?
- Pique Newspaper Online
- Craigslist
- Airbnb
WAS recommends the following two accommodation providers for short-term stay upon arrival. Reason why WAS recommends the Whistler HiHostel and Whistler Athlete Center, they both have the benefits of providing:
- walking distance to school
- affordable rates
- a social environment to meet like-minded people
