How do people generally find compatible roommates?

Some first-year Jewish students live with peers they knew from home. Upperyear students often meet their future roommates in residence or through classes or co-curricular involvements. Western Hillel and Hillel Ontario also offer ‘Classifieds’ Facebook groups where students can seek roommates as well as furniture for their apartments.

Paid Internships

Hillel Ontario offers various paid internships on a year-to-year basis on each of its campuses.
