365 days of living in a studio apartment in campus - here’s what I think you should know
For prospective students and those of you who are headed to bcit in the coming months, here’s what I think you should know about living on campus.
These apartments are tiny, 200sq ft to be exact. If you’re getting a studio, you also have your own kitchen and bathroom crammed in that space. Just be aware
On the same note, there is no bathroom storage included. No shelving, no cupboards. I would highly recommend getting a shelf from home hardware that sits above your toilet. It’s rlly the only solution for the space as the space is not well designed.
The kitchen (in a studio) is surprisingly….. good? There’s enough storage for all the food and dishes one person should ever need. I also manage to fit an air fryer on top on the fridge, an espresso maker on the counter, and a soda stream. Basically don’t be concerned about kitchen storage, just stay tidy and it’s a good space.
The “closet” is small and doesn’t have doors. There are two dressers included that come under the bed but you can take them out and stack them if you prefer the under bed space to be storage for large items.
Finally, social life is pretty underwhelming. If you put yourself out there and make the effort to make connections you can definitely have a good time, but don’t expect frat parties lol.
I have lots more to share and answers to all your questions regarding housing and campus life, please feel free to reach out!
