Hi, I am Janice. I am new to this websibe but I had lived in Ottawa for 5 yrs. First, You can choose to live either close to china town or close to Ottawa University. If you live close to china town, It is easy for you for daily shopping or find a job. If you choose to live close to Ottawa U, of course, It is easy for you to continue to study. There are many area too. but I am recommend to you because if it is winter, it is too difficult for you to wait for a bus or there is no job available for you. Anyway, If you have any question, you can ask me again. Good luck.
Janice
