Living in an apartment & renting is a great way to start your life on your own away from your parents.

Here are a few hacks and tips I’ve picked up along the way in living in a few different apartments over the years.

Here in Canada, college is a pretty different experience compared to the States. People aren’t as big into Greek life, and college and university are actually different things here lol. 

So technically I am going to university, and I am also not staying in a dorm, so this list will not be regarding any sort of dorm life. 

We’re bringing it down to the nitty gritty basics of school work and college life, and all the items that I find super necessary in attending college.
