ACCOMMODATION & MEALS Although it is your responsibility to find suitable housing, the International Student Office (ISO) will make every effort to be of assistance. Students wishing to live in residence should arrange this well in advance of their arrival in Saskatoon. The ISO normally does not help international students to find off-campus accommodation before they arrive in Saskatoon. There are too many factors that go into this important decision (e.g. distance from campus, cost, deposit, lease agreements, etc.). However, the ISO will assist newly arrived international students in finding suitable housing. In most cases international students find accommodation in one or two days. Meals are also provided. PROGRAM COST UNI students pay UNI tuition and fees (in-state or out-of-state) plus the study abroad fee to participate.
