Is living on Campus worth it? I was a transfer student to UBC this year, and thanks to my poor planning, i had to get a last minute off-campus spot for the term. Now that first term is over I finally got an offer for housing in ponderosa Commons, but the rent is ~300 dollars more than my current house. Is it worth the extra money to live on campus? My whole experience at UBC Has been off campus and i would like to get a feel for on campus housing, but not if its not worth the extra cash
