We help students find and access affordable and quality housing that fit their unique personal needs.

Last week, we hosted our Business Advisory Council at City Hall for another semi-regular meeting to discuss the needs and goals of our region’s business community, but this time, we invited a few new young Edmontonians who brought very important and fresh perspectives to the table.

We discussed much of the good work being done at the @CityofEdmonton, and with partners such as the impact of Business Friendly Edmonton, our various grant programs, the Place Brand Strategy, resources like https://t.co/zC1YsEyw0V and innovative City initiatives like Capital City Pilots. We also talked about promoting Edmonton's place brand, increasing accessibility to grant programs, supporting the arts, championing innovation, and building the business community in #YEG.

Youth are our current and future city builders. Their perspectives are key to helping us build an exciting, attractive and industrious Edmonton for all of us.

Thank you to @ExploreEdmonton for attending, and to our youth guests: Tiger of nimihitotan, Jean Bruce of @Elevhomes, Riwo of @melafrique_, @JaanekGrewal of Mint Health + Drugs, Priscilla of @UAlberta Black Students Association, Abbas of @futurefieldsHQ, Vaishnavi of @NorQuest Alumni Advisory Committee, @SimranKDhillon1 of @FentaGone, Genevieve of @PolykarInc and Corey of @ReWaste_ca for joining us!

Dear Elev,
I bought a new rug for my new place with my student loans…now I definitely have to graduate.

👀We suggest you take your time before making any big purchases like a rug. Buy a warm pair of socks first, and now you don’t have to shop for a vacuum!

And of course, free parking right outside, means less distance to walk and a little more security. So the ideal candidate to #Rent a house? Someone who can create a productive and efficient environment working from home, and has a high demand for hobbies.

Renting off campus offers the majority of 2 main choices, apartments or houses. (A thread)

1. If you're unsure where you should rent, especially since 70% of us live with roommates in the first year #offcampus, here are some guiding pros and cons to help you decide.

[Elev @Elevhomes]

2. Reason why you would choose a house are:

if you want more space for storage, sports training and studying without bothering #Roommates. You'll get more privacy from neighbors and less worry about noise and space with pets or when having friends over.
