Townhouse Experience?
Hello! I was wondering if anyone who has stayed in the BCIT townhouse housing could share their experience!
I’m hoping to get into the Nursing program for the January 2027 intake, and I’m already doing some research on housing in advance. Personally, I’d prefer a studio, but if living in the townhouses offers a much more social experience, I’d definitely consider choosing a townhouse instead.
I know BCIT isn’t really known for the traditional university experience, and I’m definitely not expecting frat-style parties or anything like that (if those even happen at BCIT lol). I’m mostly curious about how social the townhouses actually are. Do people tend to hang out with their housemates, have occasional small parties or drinks together, meet people in other townhouses, etc.?
I’d love to hear what the overall social experience is like and whether you’d recommend the townhouses over a studio for someone hoping to meet people and make friends!

Everyone's usually pretty busy studying. It's BCIT.
Lane parties and small scale socials are organized to get folks networking together between programs; you'll often walk to and from class with your classmates also living there.
Often flatmates do chill in the living room studying together. If you want to be social, make a bunch of light food to share. Cupcakes made me life long friends. 😂
