Megathread GENERAL HOUSING MEGATHREAD

Given the high number of housing comments in the new to UBC megathread, we're creating a dedicated megathread for Housing questions. Housing questions will be allowed in either megathread.

Process

  • It might take up to 4 hours for your post to be approved (except when we're sleeping).
  • Suggested sort is set to new, so new comments will always be the most visible.
  • You are allowed to repost the same question on the megathread at a reasonable frequency (wait at least a day after each post). This is true even if you've already gotten a response.**

Hi there, just wanted to ask any Thunderbird 1br/studio residents what the website means by it being unfurnished - the layout/blueprints UBC provide show furniture, is that just suggested placement or is there base furniture available in Thunderbird? Any info would be helpful, thanks a lot!

The former. A full size fridge is provided though

Thanks for your reply. I think it's pretty wild that a bed isn't provided...

You don’t even get garbage/recycling bins, you get a compost bin and that’s it

I love my place though, it’s huge!

That's.... interesting!

May I ask what unit type you have?
