Cost of living in Moncton is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Don't move here because rent here is between 900-1200 for a 1 bedroom, 1200-1600 for a 2 bedroom and 1700-2200 for a 3 bedroom.

I am an accepted student of NBCC-Moncton for this Fall 2021. I am interested in getting a single apartment closer to my campus. Any information pertaining to the cost of living especially rent will be very vital for me. Are the apartment furnished or furniture are purchased? Kindly help me with details.
