Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
the campus accommodation is very far away from downtown, and you therefore do not get to experience Vancouver at its best.

Personal comments
The housing was ok, but the staff were rude, and the townhouses were very old and dirty. I would most definitively not live on campus,and would not recommend anyone to do so either.
