Every New Brunswick student town
Students rent in Fredericton, Saint John, Moncton, Sackville, Dieppe and Riverview, plus smaller towns across the province. Fredericton is the capital, with UNB and STU side by side on the hill. Sackville is the smallest, and it's built around Mount Allison.
On SubSwap you search around a school or city, or pick all of New Brunswick, and choose how far out to look. Saint John doesn't have its own area option yet, so UNB Saint John students should pick all of New Brunswick or a wider radius. SubSwap is still new in the province, so there may not be many listings near you yet. If you have a room to fill, post it.

French-speaking roommates
New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province, and a lot of Université de Moncton students want a French-speaking roommate. SubSwap doesn't filter by language, so if you want a French-speaking roommate, put that in your bio and bring it up early in the chat.
