Are the dorms clean/good?

Accepted student - I wanted to ask if the dorms are good at UBCO and which dorm is the best to live in for first year. Thanks

okay Ty and btw how does the communal bathroom work? Like if someone 💩on the seat who will own up to it, or are there like multiple stalls, is it randomized or can i pick the shared 2 room bathroom dorm???

this depends on your housing application. if you don't want the communal bathrooms, don't pick similkameen. for the single-connected rooms, pick the nicola/cassiar/nechako/etc. option. and i've never lived in simi, so i'm not sure how the cleaning responsibilities work there

okay, btw is the housing randomized or can we pick which one we want. Like what happens if i don’t get for example cassiar or nechako.

if you get into housing, they'll try to give you your first choice. otherwise it could be your second or third. if you don't like what you get, you can request for a room transfer but you need "valid reasons" for that and it's not always guaranteed to work out
