Are you trying to get a place before you arrive?
The best apts often only get posted on bulletin boards in areas where other similar like minded folk may congregate....I am seeing a lot of postings here at UBC, and on my ride home through kits.

mmmm, yeh that is what i had heard. i have been looking on craigslist and there seems to be a lot on offer but not sure about comitting until i have arrived/seen/met people etc.
trouble is my work permit is taking ages to arrive and i may not have much time between arriving and starting work, so im trying to sort something out (even if just short term) prior to my arrival
cheers

You can have my place for July 1 on 19th & Cambie for $600/month. Roommate is a tantra instructor so other than lube on door handles and having to listen to all night sex through paper thin walls it's not bad. No bed bugs. Just have earplugs at your disposal.
Fantastic location - half block from grocery store, restaurants, movie theatre, Starbucks, and about 5 blocks from train. Wouldn't be a bad ride to UBC. Unfortunately no climbers in the house but plenty in the neighborhood.
Edit: in fact it could be available as early as June 15 if interested

Firstly, thanks for all you initial help! now I know where I am and am a bit better orientated im ideally looking for somewhere west of Burrard, so if anyone knows of any rooms going in shared houses please let me know!!!
