Jordan Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Well i have been apartment hunting like crazy, and i haven't had the best of luck. I seem to find that the one bedroom apartments and basement suite's are at about $1000 including everything, and that the two bedroom's are in the $1200 range on the west side of Calgary, and in Cochrane. So i'm thinking, if there is anyone else out there looking for a place to stay? Maybe it would be smart to get something and split the costs. I will be training at GSH myself, starting October 1st.

Cole Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 If what I heard today from a few different people is true, Jordan, along with the other students he was to go to school with, won't be needing an apartment this year. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldywings Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Show up on time, stay on schedule, study hard...done in 4 months, not a problem In a perfect world yes....I think the point was however, that weather can often prolong a training schedule in the winter. When talking about financial planning, I think it is always best to plan for the worst case scenario. If you plan for worst case scenario, you have a buffer...if you plan for the sunny best case, you only end up broke and hungry. WW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we can say we heard "something" from someone who heard "something" from someone who heard "something"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we can say we heard "something" from someone who heard "something" from someone who heard "something"! otherwise, we've heard nothing about something which might not amount to anything but in the grand scheme of things might be something!!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
