My girlfriend just got accepted into grad school at UBC and we're trying to decide where to live. She wants to live on campus, and we were considering living together in on-campus housing. I will be working fulltime (hopefully!) though I don't know where yet. My question is, how long/annoying of a commute is it to the rest of Vancouver? Is living on campus really boring for non-students? It looks somewhat isolated from maps. Are there any places to go out that are near campus? Is it possible to walk from campus to a busier part of the city (maybe not downtown but at least off campus)? My other option is finding an apartment off campus, maybe in Kits or thereabouts. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
