Place Vanier’s lobby is located in the center of the residences. It is a beautiful modern building. It is a very quiet space where you can read a book or do some homework. Free Wi-Fi is available, so you can use it to chat with friends, go on Facebook, do academic work, etc. The building is spacious, very comfortable and clean.
UBC’s School of Music is smaller than the music faculty of the University of Montreal. However, it is a very modern building and the practice rooms have a very high quality piano. The school has a very nice auditorium. Its architecture is designed for a maximum of 600 people. Also, the concert hall has a Steinway piano concert. Sometimes, you can listen to some nice recitals performed by the students of the music school.

« Enjoy every sunset, look forward to every sunrise. »
Go wherever your heart takes you to. The Explore program has taken me through different places in British Columbia. This long road reminds me of the song Rather be : « We’re a thousand miles from comfort, we have traveled land and sea, But as long as you are with me, there’s no place I’d rather be I would wait forever, exalted in the scene. As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat. »
Friendship
« Friends are hard to find. In a lifetime you get only a few. And when you find them, you always know them by sight and heart alone, you always grow a little bit taller in your soul, and you know you have been blessed just to know them. »
Reflect, a verb, to give back or show an image of yourself. From this Explore Program, I’ve matured a lot, I’ve been surrounded by all the new and friendly people. I’ll remember them and their smile forever.
Run
Time is ticking. We are runners for our lives. In this big city, we can’t give up and will never give up because we are strong and ambitious. That is who we are.
Kitsilano beach – Vancouver is a land where there is everything that we need : beach, nature, city, boats, mountains and so on. I would like to live here for a longer time because the view is simply breathtaking.
