In the months before moving in, you’re dying to see what your new room looks like. I know that feel. So, here’s a picture of a typical first-year dorm room:

This is a single room in Totem Park. Large singles, doubles, and rooms with connecting bathrooms will looks a little different.
Also, I made a video of a tour of my room last year after I moved in for my friends at home to see, so you can check that out as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWFeWKMsKpk.
(Please forgive my terrible vlogging skills in this video, it was my first one.)
That's me! I'm a fourth year, introverted, Winnipeg-hailing, blog-writing, cookie-eating, harp-playing, yoga-doing, blanket-knitting music student at UBC. I'm always trekking around campus in my Pumas and massive black backpack, and if you spot me, come say hi! It would be nice to know someone actually reads these things!
