How’s your housing?
With students left out of the data on housing, governments pay very little attention to student housing conditions. Whether you live in an apartment or with your parents, UTILE and PGSS want to know your reality.

You will be responsible to care for your plot throughout the summer, and you'll get to enjoy the fruits, veggies and flowers of your labour. We will only have 20 plots available for this summer.
