jc100 threw out that some of the students may have the money but availability is the problem and the students don't want to drain their bank accounts staying in hotels. Therefore the problem is money.
Again, where is the $670 coming from? Is there some government mandated minimum account to be drained over the length of the course with suggested monthly costs????
Do they need health and drug insurance?
Speaking of availability, where are their doctors when Canadians are on long wait lists, two months to see a specialist and another two or three for treatment. Some cancers kill in less time. Ontario is the shortest PEI the longest wait.
FWIW a friend was renting rooms at $600 a month about 20 minute walk from UoT Erin Mills. That was pre Covid and he's out of it now. The Covid rules (Screw the landlord) scared him.
Our university has its own clinic for students. Long wait times and they are understaffed but it’s there at least.
