Meet Sarah, a third-year Environmental Studies student at the University of Waterloo. Originally from a small town, she cherishes her cozy apartment near campus but worries about the ongoing housing crunch in the region. Recognizing the challenges of finding affordable student housing, Sarah has become an advocate for smart living solutions and often discusses the pros and cons of subletting among her friends. Balancing her academics with part-time work, she is mindful of her living situation and feels fortunate to have a good place to call home, while also considering the plight of commuting students from nearby cities like Mississauga.
