The living accommodation
is situated at the University of British Columbia(UBC).
The participants live in modern residences, have
a single bedroom and share an apartment with 3
other students from various different countries.
There are usually 4–bedrooms in an apartment,
a living room and a kitchen. In each bedroom there
is a single bed and desk. Every two students share
a bathroom. It is a friendly campus for students
and those who join the programme discover that
the campus is a stimulating place to learn and
a relaxing place to reside.
Girls are in one area and boys are in another
area. Wynchemna tries to place students who speak
different languages together so that the students
have to speak English with one another. The thrill
of meeting someone new is a great chance to practice
your English. If you come to Wynchemna with a
friend, s/he will probably be less than a minute
away in another room. You are more than welcome
to go and visit your friend. Every student is
in the same position. Who is going to share the
apartment with me? Will this new student like
me? Go up and introduce yourself. You may come
from different countries, but you have a lot more
in common than you think. Ask your new apartment
mate what kind of music s/he is interested in?
Teach your new friend a card game. Teachers will
always announce a time when students have to be
in their apartments and students then have half
an hour (30 minutes) to chat with roommates before
going to bed. Bedtime is usually between 22:30
and 24:00. |
