S8E3: The Challenges and Solutions of Student Housing | George Brown College

On this episode of the podcast we're talking about housing for students at George Brown College. If you have been reading the news, or looking for housing yourself, you may be aware that rents are at an all-time high and ideal housing options are far and few between. So, what do we do about that? We speak to Brent and Daniel from Campus Planning. They're working on the Student Housing Study, a project of George Brown College that was started this spring and is working to understand, inform, and identify solutions for student housing. Tune-in and learn more about it!
