"Hard for students to find shelter"
Students thrust into high-end housing markets need someone to help them find shelter before hitting the books, a UBC Okanagan graduate says.
In conducting research for his masters degree in human geography, Jamie McEwan said he unearthed horror stories on the lengths some students need to so go find a place to live in Kelowna.
McEwan conducted 30 interviews in an exploratory case study of students aged 18 to 30 searching for rental housing in 2009 and was told by his interview subjects they knew of six to eight people sharing a one-bedroom apartment and even one person who pitched a tent off campus while attending UBCO.
"Students are coming here thinking that within two weeks to a month they will be able to find housing for year and it's simply not happening," McEwan said.
