Most students look for a place to live based primarily on how many bedrooms there are, so this is one way in which our listings are categorized in addition to the “type of accommodation”. All OCRC listings will show the total number of bedrooms in the accommodation, as well as how many of those bedrooms are currently available for rent. There are many different types of housing options available to you, so it’s important to explore all the available options and find what works best for you.
