- UBC DORM ROOM + TOTEM PARK TOUR | Itsyvn
Hey everyone! I've been dying to film this video and I'm so happy I finally did because it has been super fun and it leaves me with a memory of my room for when I move out :)
I live in a single room in the newly built c̓əsnaʔəm house (building 7) in the Totem Park Residence at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver campus. Need me to say, the experience in Totem Park has been far more incredible than I would've imagined!
If your going to be attending UBC, I might be able to answer some questions so feel free to comment below or message me! Enjoy! x

Titanclaw 24 Thank you for your kind words and for watching!! Wishing you all the best too :)

Hayley B soo exciting! It’s the best floor😉
Hi, I'm applying dorm right now, what is the name of this building?
Im probably gonna go to UBC because i live somewhere (i wont specify for privacy) in Fraser Valley but i want to live in a dorm. But since i live just like a city away, my parents will probably force me to stay with them lol :')
P.s. idk why i like watching these videos even though im only in grade 7 lol
blueberri 17 im in grade 7 too and im looking at university’s to go to too😂😂
Same here 😅😉😂😂
UBC is my dream college 😍❤️
I was really motivated to study at UBC thank u Itsyvn=)
Mohamad Hoseini aww I’m happy to hear☺️
@@Itsyvn Keep going♥♥
Ugh ur such a lucky person I would love to go to UBC:(
Thank you so much for showing this i am planning to go to ubc :)
Jaime Tsai No worries, thanks for watching😊
hey girlll i’m from the us and am thinking about applying to ubc but I was just wondering if there’s a big party scene there? i know canadian universities aren’t that into partying like in the us but just wondering!!
alli nicole It’s okay here, it’s more up to you. There’s a lot of frat parties going on and clubbing downtown Vancouver but if you’re not into that, you can defiantly stay away from that! 😊
wow love there i really wanna go to ubc
You are so happy. 😊 I like happy people
Can you please tell me,how much it costs for an international undergraduate student for his/her 1st year at UBC
yehi kuch 30-35 lakhs lol... seriously i wanna go to ubc too... hope i get in..
How's ubc reputation all over the world? What are the major recruiting companies for CS? And what course you did there? Apart from this very nice video, I was wandering about the accommodation, it helped me to know deep. Thanks to you!
Awesome video it looks so nice there!! I wanted to ask you how likely is it to get a single room at UBC? I'm trying to decide between UofT and UBC!!
Girl, I just watched all your videos and you are so cute and inspiring~plus your wreck beach video is really making me want to go to UBC!!
Shawna Thank you!! My first choice was a single! UBC does try their best to accommodate judging from my friends too!!
Yvonne with the helpful advice
80% of ubc's dorms are single rooms, two single rooms share a bathroom in some cases, also first years are guaranteed a room
Shawna same I've been on those two schools since😅
At first glance when I saw Sam I thought he is Ronaldo.
I wanna move from Belgium to Vancouver when I'm eighteen and go to UBC but I still have four years to go ughh, I can't wait tho!!
Aicha Jalloh Haha come visit!😋
@@Itsyvn i most definitely will haha!
Hey I just got accepted into UBC and am deciding whether to go, do you like the student life there?
did you go?
@@Eli-ou8sq Yup!
Thanks for the video. Was helpful!
Hoping to get accepted in UBC for 2022-23! What are the marks needed?
Thank you for sharing.
I just got accepted in ubc for summer session 2022 engineering. Now I'm just binge watching dorm room tours and ideas😂
omg I love this haha. Thank you for watching and congratulations on your acceptance! That’s amazing🥳
I am Deaf I want go to UBC "HAHAHA" from Thailand Thank you 🙏🏾
i'm from thailand too omg what grade are you rn?
I wanna go there in 21 or 22 :)
really helpful video! i was wondering, do the dorms come with any lamps? and do they come with a mirror? or will we have to get both ourselves? Thank you!
Syvn, the stairs would have been more exciting. Look at that view!
Would love to do postdoctoral research at UBC. Could you please provide some details about fellowship opportunities there?
Accepted in UBC for winter 2022 😁😁
omg congratulations!!🥳 that’s so exciting, I’m happy for you!
Thanks for this video! I got assigned to CSNM as well for fall 2018 and I was wondering if it is more expensive than the other buildings?
Sharon Thomas no worries, thanks for watching:) I’m not too sure but it should be similar!
Woaah you’re so coool
You can make more videos explaining your career and other similar careers at UBC !!
Please I love your very cute videos. 😉😊
Thank you so much and yes I can/will!🥰 thanks for watching!!!
Is there a cafe in the building? The other Totem Park has The Feast.
BWT, there is a bottle of apple cider vinegar on the top. What do you use it for?
jtcber Not in this building, no. The food is in the commons block which is like a 2 min walk away (I toured it in the video!)🙂 & I drink the apple cider vinegar!
Hey thanks for the great video :) I was wondering about the approximate fee you have to pay for the dorm room and for studying at ubc
Sun Shine It differs by which residence and room type you’re staying in! The costs also differ by program so you can defiantly look it up based on what your in :)
thats it im aplying for totem park XD
Hello,
Could you please make a vedio regarding portfolio requirements for your course.
Appreciate the help
Thank you
Odd question for you: is the shower water warm? Are there times that it runs out of warm water?
haha it’s warm & I never experienced it running out of hot water☺️
I’m 13 and I decided I wanted to go to ubc when I was 11 haha I’m still really hoping I get in bc my grandparents live on vci so I can go there in the summer and idk but yea
aww that’s amazing! Keep working towards it & hopefully you’ll be here someday💙💛
How different are the costs of attending UBC versus an in province university (I’m from the GTA and my other choice is UOttawa)? My family is concerned about the big transition and factor of flights and high costs associated with Vancouver in general. Is it easy to get a job on campus for first years?
Students must have? Thanks for the video!!
Im moving in in like a couple of weeks.. i was just wondering how you hung up your lights above the bed? Tryna do some do some shopping but i have no idea how to hang stuff up on the walls other than using command strips and tape or whatever... thank you for the room tour!!
Vivian Li You’re so welcome, thanks for watching!😊 At the commonsblock they give you double sided stickers but I bought hooks for my lights!

my aim to study in university of Toronto or University of British Columbia
Would you say that sometimes it was inconvenient for you because of the communal washrooms? It’s usually really busy in the morning right? How do you cope with times of inconvenience?
I actually never thought that! I made so many memories in the washroom getting ready with people haha. It was never busy in the morning because everyone starts class at a different time and that applies for showering too - I never had to wait for a shower! Truthfully, I really enjoyed my first year residence and didn’t mind communal washrooms:)
Itsyvn thanks for replying! I actually got an offer from UBC and I’m just wondering how the communal washrooms are...how about when there’s like an emergency (like the worst of them all..period stains)? 😖
Chloe Yang haha based off of my experience, I got to know my floor pretty well that even if an emergency happened, I wouldn’t be too embarrassed!😅 With all this being said tho, I really lucked out getting a brand new building and really good floor mates for my first year so I’m just speaking on my experience:) Regardless, I do believe that being on residence in your first year is a huge part in making memories and friends!
Itsyvn thanks so much for replying. Last question lol (sorry if I’m bothering you) because of the buildings being far from each other and there’s only 10 minutes between classes, do you have a bike or car or something because I heard on other videos of UBC Vancouver that it takes quite a bit to walk to your next class.
Chloe Yang not at all, don’t worry:) I had a class first year that was on the opposite side of campus and if I speed walk it was like 15 mins? A lot of the time, people are always scrambling in late so it’s all good!! :) (I don’t think people usually drive to get to classes but I do see a lot of bikers!)
I have been accepted for UBC 2021 winter session. Is Totem park, Place Vanier (basically the residences that have a shared accommodation) a year residence? Can I live there (if accepted) for a full year?
First year residences like Totem, Vanier & Orchard are all winter session which runs from September to April (non-renewable for new school years)!😊
@@Itsyvn are these available for Graduate students'?
hi! are all dorms singles or do you have the option to have live with someone else?
Samhita Shanker there are doubles! & you can request your roommate😊
Is the boys and girls dorm separate there ??
Do you guys not have your own kitchen with a stove or oven? Do you only have a microwave or the food court??
Pelin Tezcan Unfortunarly not! We don’t have access to a stove or oven but there is a microwave!! And the commons block serves food :)
hey yvonne I hope you answer this is it ok to smoke in your singl room or doesn the fire alarms go off ?
oliverkaan! I don’t smoke so I don’t know, sorry!:( Probably best to do it outside though, in case:)
hey , hows life there? where u from?
looking into some uni to continue studies
Do ubc provides wifi for residence and is it true tht ubc provides dining only for first year students
Wish i had a single room in totem 😭
raiyan rashid aw it’s okay! The experience is what you make of it🙂
Itsyvn you got year round housing yet ?
raiyan rashid I’ve applied but I haven’t gotten an offer yet!
I graduate next year and UBC is my dream school. Any advice on how to get accepted? I am international
hi I'm going to ubc in September and I'm really scared I'll get depression or something from the rain. how do I know if I'll like it there?
Hey! I think you’ll be fine with the rain, the sunny days are totally worth it:) And with anything in life, you really won’t know unless you try!
It's my dream to study in university of toronto, UBC , McGill or u of Calgary 😍😍
Wishing you all the best!!🙏
Hoping to study in ubc in 3 years!
love this! good luck, you got it!!☺️
would you say that the dinning hall food is good?
I personally think it's pretty good! There are many options:)
Hi just curious, are there specific dorms for first years, second years etc? Do we get to choose and if a friend and I are applying and want to live together would that be possible.
Shania Joy yeah the first year dorm areas are orchard commons, totem park, and place vanier. You can request to live with a friend but it’s not a 100% guarantee. I.e my friends wanted to live in orchard together (separate rooms, shared washroom) but ended up getting a place in totem park with separate rooms (communal washroom) but they were right next to each other!
Heyy I was wondering if you had WiFi while you were at Totem??
Yes! I used the school wifi 😊
Hi Yvonne, I was just wondering how many ppl usually share a communal bathroom? And how many ppl share a private bathroom? Also how many rooms on average are there on each floor? Thank you so much - I have tried to find this info on the UBC website but I couldn’t find it :, )
Elizabeth A umm based on my experience at this totem building - I think I was sharing with over 15 residents (and there were twice that amount on my whole floor). There are no private bathrooms for any first year residences but the closest one would be a shared (between u and ur roommate) in orchard! :)
Itsyvn wow thank you sm for the fast reply🤗🤗 ohh ok that clears up a lot!! One more question sorry, about the private washroom the one that had the door taken off ahahah can anyone on the floor access that bathroom or is it only shared with a certain group of ppl? Thanks again all this is so helpful : ))
Elizabeth A no worries! OH I see what you mean by the private washroom. Okay, hmm idk if they have that available all the time. I know that on my entire floor, only my side of the floor had it and we could have access to it but I’m sure it was prioritized for people with accessibility needs!
So, I wouldn’t take that private washroom into consideration if you’re thinking about residence choices. If you’re looking for a smaller group of people to share with, I’d definitely recommend orchard commons - since you only share between you and your roommate!😊
Itsyvn oh ok that makes sense! Thank you so much for your help :))
cool
How much does ubc cost yearly?
Is your friend wearing an integrity sweatshirt...?
I m an international student and when I'll land at Vancouver of course I won't have a car so how do i move in with my luggage
You can rent one , or ask the airport about transportation services
did you do fgl? I saw the lanyard and I got curious
Maria Bianca Cuevas what’s fgl?? Haha
Is it hard to be accepted there??
Você é tão fofa haha
How did you get in UBC?
ik i'm super late BUT i swear i saw his face go a lil bit redddddd
when u want to go to UBC but you don’t have enough money ✌🏻😔
how about tuition??
How much is the fee?? Or does it like depend on what building you stay? I mean like 1 room for 1 person
It depends on the building type! There are single and shared units and also single units with a shared washroom! Hope that makes sense :)
@@Itsyvn do you perhaps know how much the simple unit with private shared bathroom is?
There is no kitchen ? Why ? You not allowed to cook inside the room ?
There’s no kitchens in first year dorms! Only upper year residences
Itsyvn so nice of you to reply that quick ❤️
I'm only in highschool but my wish is to get accepted at ubc for the class of 2021 (I would be entering as an international student). Though, I have no idea on what to study, any suggestions?! I know people tell me that I should study what I want to, but I dont know what, so if anyone know of a good thing to study at ubc, please let me know
Hi I love this video, I'm 13 years old, but I wanna go UBC, I'm from Mexico, and my Friend and I want to know if this UBC are in Vancouver? thank u so much😍
Briss Venegas Thank you so much☺️ Yes, this is at the Vancouver campus!!
Itsyvn Thank u so much😍😘
Yep u have freindzoned Josh
Are all the housing boys and girl mixed?? Are their seperate girls and boys housing
Christina Yang yeah there are single gendered housing! Some buildings are co Ed and have single gendered floors too!
Hii how does your dorm cost 😄? Is it worth it?
Hey I can’t remember off the top of my head cuz it’s with a meal plan too but you can defiantly check online! You can look at the different room types and residences and it gives you a price range! But all in all, I defiantly think it’s worth it! It’s so fun and you meet so many people:) A lot of my friends off campus have said they wished they lived on!
👍
is your room a nano suite, single traditional room, single connected or one bedroom suite
Wendy B. This was my dorm in first year and it was a single in totem!
Itsyvn did you choose your own residence? Was it when you were applying of after you got in?
Wendy B. After I got in! You can select your preference and then they try to accommodate
Itsyvn did you select a Year Round or Winter session or Summer session
I've been trying to figure out which is the Fall semester, but I don't know
You didn't tell how much the monthly cost ?
I can't remember sorry! You can find the costs online tho, just search it up:)
I saw on the website I have to be 19 for campus housing- is that true? I'm graduating at 17 so is there any chance for me to get in on-campus housing
Hii! I think you might be looking at upper year housing! How it works it there’s first year housing & upper year housing.
• first year housing is for first years (totem park, orchard commons and place vanier - you can search those up!😊)
• upper year housing is for second year students and up (I think that’s why you saw the age requirement here). First year housing is guaranteed for first year students I believe, while you have to apply for upper year residence. After first year, some people like to live on campus but some still wanna stay on campus (like me haha).
This video is of Totem Park (my first year residence) and I’m currently living in an upper year residence (Exchange Residence) - you can check out the tour here if you’d like, this is just one of many residences/room types:

@@Itsyvn omg, that's great. Thanks for the information
Can someone explain me what is ubc dorm room
taleha Khan in this case, it’s a room within a large building that houses students & it’s provided by the university!
I'm an international student (from India) thinking of applying to UBC. How might I contact you?
Jay Dholakia my instagram is linked to my TH-cam! You can dm me:)
where is the bathroom
7:34 it’s a co-Ed communal washroom!!
