"The best deal in the city... It’s only a 10min walk to the Citadel, and there are plenty of student-friendly bars nearby. The North End has a reputation for crime but things have improved markedly."

"Dalhousie University offers
rooms to tourists from around May 7 to Aug 23 in two
principal locations: Howe Hall, 230 Coburg Rd, and newer
(and much better) Risley Hall, 1233 LeMarchant..."

"Single and twin dorm rooms with shared bathrooms are clean but bland. Most are adjacent to all the included university amenities, a short walk from the Spring Garden Rd area." Full review
