I'm considering moving to Toronto to attend George Brown College and I'm wondering about how to find an apartment, costs, etc. I have friends living in the city but most of them live with their parents.

I will be the first to welcome you to our city of Toronto!! Ok, now all you have to do is get the newspaper called the Toronto Star and look under the classifieds, under apartments. There are tons to choose from!! In every part of the city!! Also in the suburbs. The suburbs cost less in rent than in the downtown core. Keep in mind, Toronto has a hugh Transit system that cost very little to get around. We here in Toronto call it -TTC. The average cost of a one bedroom apartment is around 700 dollars CDN.
Good Luck and enjoy!!

It depends on which campus of George Brown. The King St. campus is in a pretty expensive downtown area so you'd need to share an apartment with a couple of places. The Casa Loma campus is in a more residential area and you should be able to find a basement apartment or a room and board rental with a family.

If you've got friends living in TO, best to go apartment shopping with them. They are bound to have a rough idea of which neighbourhoods are good and which are risky. The TO Star, Renter's News... basically any TO periodical will have a listing of what's available.
Good luck to you, and better if you can just rent a room off one of your buddy's parents... probably cheaper and safer.

Boo George Brown! Go Seneca Stingers!
Okay, now that that's out of the way, depending on which campus you're in, stay in residence.
