UBC overnight student hostel

'Commuter Student Hostel' now open for UBC students
Costs $30 a night

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - UBC students who cram until the wee hours of the morning and then need to drive to campus for class can now take advantage of 'Commuter Student Hostel.'

Jannice Robinson with Student Housing says the hostel is available Sunday to Thursday. "It provides them the opportunity to be able to participate in late-night extra-curricular activities. If they're in a club, group or association or there's an event on campus they want to participate in and they are able to do that and not necessarily have to endure a long commute home."

The UBC Commuter Hostel will cost students $30 a night.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
