Basic residences are student houses - private homes that have been converted and occupied either in whole or in part by students. They provide fully furnished accommodation, shared kitchen and washroom facilities and amenities such as TV, telephone, cutlery and cooking utensils.

The location of basic residences varies but they are all generally within 30 to 40 minutes of Quest and the city centre by public transport.

If you are looking for affordable, clean residence type accommodation that is available all year, basic residences are your best choice.

Your only other choice for year round residence accommodation is The Residence. If you are coming in the summer see summer residences in the menu.

At least two to three weeks prior to your arrival we will send you complete accommodation information, including: details about location, pictures (outside and inside) and nearby transportation. See sample profile on right.
