Dukesbridge school? Middle range private schools. by Laura91
Hello dear, does anyone have experience what dukesbridge school is like? Or any other suggestion for a little cheaper school than westcoast, northfield and so on

Most rentals are furnished but you can negotiate with the owner. Bringing furniture or not really depends on how long you’re planning on staying here. So if you’re going to stay 3+ years then I think it’s better to bring your own ... Read More
