Accommodation
Yes. In my first year, I had a single room for myself with a shared common bathroom. Residences can be single-gendered or coed and there are 3 main residences for first-year students. Housing in Vancouver is generally expensive and I had to pay around 12,000 for my room rent and meal plan for the first year.
Exams
For my application, I had to submit a personal profile online consisting of my details and essay type answers to a few questions asked. Expect about 5-10 questions and if answered well, it will definitely improve the overall admission score.
