What's included and how to compare it
Room types, price and exactly what is included (Wi-Fi, cleaning, utilities, security) vary by landlord and change over time, so always confirm current pricing and availability directly rather than relying on any single listing. Notable extras include a no-deposit, all-inclusive rate. Check directly with the residence or with DigsConnect on current NSFAS status before you rely on an NSFAS placement here.
