Accommodation
- Students who have received a letter of support
containing the phrase
Accommodation
will be arranged for you in UBC's Walter Gage Residence
and who are planning to arrive on June
7 and leave on July 4
will in due course receive information about housing from Ken
Leung. It will be in Walter
Gage Towers at a rate of 39 CAD per day. Each apartment (Floor plan)
has six bedrooms
sharing a
bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen and lounge. Since we have to
pay for these rooms in advance students must stay for the whole period
or lose part of
their subsidy.
- Students who HAVE received a letter of support
as in case 1, but want to come for a longer time should book
accommodation for the additional time as described in case 3.
- Students who have not received a letter as in
case 1 should arrange their own accommodations through UBC Conferences
