We cannot guarantee that all projects will be completed by the course conclusion due to each person's needs and work habits.

CSL does not provide student accommodations, but we will assist students in finding suitable accommodations within a close proximity to the shop. There are four universities in the Halifax area, making available rooms and apartments plentiful throughout the year. Students who have posted ads on kijiji.ca have always has success in the past.

CSL also has a list of contacts who are willing to offer housing to our students. Every effort is made by affiliate homes to provide the best possible living quarters. We recommend that, as representatives of the Canadian School of Lutherie, our students maintain appropriate behavior and conduct themselves accordingly, however maintaining the landlord-tenant relationship is ultimately the responsibility of the student.
