Housing Resources

Welcome to the University of Toronto!  While we don’t have an official housing program at the MSA, we realize that searching for housing around UofT or finding a Muslim roommate can be difficult, so we put together some resources to help you out.

First of all, we have a brothers’ and sisters’ housing groups which you can join and make a post in.  People are generally looking for roommates and places to stay the summer months leading up to September, so that’s a good time to be looking. Secondly, you can look into classified sites like Kijiji, Craigslist and Toronto Roomates to find what you’re looking for. Lastly, the University of Toronto offers a student housing service that you are definitely recommended to look into.  You can find it here.
