Sydney is located on the beautiful island of Cape Breton, in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada. It is known as a tourist destination for its magnificent mountain views, hiking trails, beaches, golf courses, lakes, fishing, Celtic music and amazing seafood. Sydney is only one hour from Halifax by plane, and two and a half hours from Toronto by plane. What a location for your English course in Canada.

The environment is as welcoming as the people, who all speak English so the English learning environment is almost 100% compared to other major cities where the environment is close to 60% or less because of other languages and large immigrant populations. Sydney is growing and attracting more students and graduates to stay and live in the surrounding area.

ACCOMMODATION  INFORMATION

One of the first things you will need to do is decide where you want to live while studying at our English school in Canada, there a few options to choose from and we recommend you speak to a Student Service representative to help you choose the option that best suits your needs.

SCHOOL RESIDENCE

Residence is available on-campus, which includes a meal plan, all utilities and is walking distance to CBU. There are single rooms or double rooms available, with shared washrooms and laundry facilities. There is a full buffet-style cafeteria in the residence complex and is included in the fees for residence and meal plan.

HOMESTAY

Homestay is a program which places students with Canadian families renting a room for international students who wish to learn the language, culture and customs of Canada. Homestays are sometimes further from school and most offer transportation, meals and other benefits of family living.

If you want to leave your Homestay, apartment or residence, you must speak to Student Services to help you find the best possible accommodation. Sometimes there might be a better match for your preferences, and sometimes there is nothing available and other accommodations might be necessary.

Although some students stay with the same Homestay families for years, some students prefer to be located on campus and would rather live in residence. After a while some students are ready for independent living, they would like to live closer to campus or they would rather find an apartment with some new friends.
