Best living options?

Hi guys! I’m planning on going to bcit Burnaby campus either this year or next year, and I’m just wondering how cheap is it to live in an apartment?? I wouldn’t mind living in dorms but I would prefer to be alone and have no roommate. Could anyone tell me their experience?

All of the dorms at BCIT are private bedrooms. You don't share with a roommate in that sense.

The studios in Tall Timber also have their own washrooms and kitchen. Studios are more expensive for that reason. The other housing options (connected singles in Tall Timber, or a room in the Townhouses) will have shared washrooms/kitchens.

In terms of pricing and value, on-campus housing is probably as cheap as it's gonna get in this area, unless you are renting a room in a shared house.
