It is difficult to say because there is no RIRCHVIEW Road in my 2002 Ottawa and Environs Map.
So it must either be a new road (no bus service) or out of Ottawa area. However, it is also possible
the address was incorrectly spelled.
So it is Birchview Rd not Rirchview Rd. There is a major bus station within 5 min walking and then bus No.95 takes you directly to Ottawa U. It is a bit far but the bus is runing on a special route (very little traffic jam) and will get you to Ottawa U very quickly. Also the bus runs until early morning (about 2 am) each day.
My suggestion: take the apartment first so you will have a place to stay. After you arrive and are familar with the area then decide whether or not you want to move.
