K	Kashish Joshipura on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Totem Park residence is the best first year residence out of the 3 as it has a mix of both a social life and nice rooms.
S	Sergey Honchu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Parts of Totem Park are great and I'd definitely recommend it out of the residence options. However, if you bring a bike, you'll have to keep it in your room. Bikes are constantly stolen completely or have parts such as gear shifters removed, and UBC and Totem Park management will not take action to prevent it (no cameras etc.) They will however happily, for a few of course, allow you to rent an actually secure bike locker. It's unfortunate but the staff have shown they do not have student property safety in mind, just profits. Moreover, the food is ludicrously over priced and awful for you.
H	Harran Shi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Don’t talk too loud in your room. If you want to talk to your parents hide under your sheets. People will be able to here you from from neighbouring rooms as well as outside. They can hear you when you shower. They can hear you kicking the wall in the middle of your sleep. And you will be able to hear others too. Also they told us our bathroom was not clean two times and they charged us for the third inspection to clean the bathroom. Prior to the third inspection I had to email telling them we could guarantee that the washroom was spot clean and it was causing mistrusts between us and the residence staff. They emailed me saying they will check again and if the washroom is clean they would not charge us. The third time they arrived, the staff came to our washroom was about to “clean it” (I honestly think they are gonna pretend to clean it, because our washroom didn’t have a spot of dust) my Roomate told the worker that we have cleaned our room the previous inspection and they failed us for no reasons. And the staff said yes, our washroom was really clean. Like huh? You came with all your tools and you were about to clean a perfectly clean washroom! If we did not stop them they would have started their pretend cleaning! They seem to simply follow the instructions to “clean the bathroom”...
K	KW on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pretty decent for first year student housing. Rooms are SMALL, but there's enough room to fit what you need. They have different activities and events for the students to join all the time, so social life seems good. I didn't eat in the dining hall. I hear it's 'ok' most of the time. Campus is huge, and beautiful. Extremely clean.
J	Ju on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wonderful building to dorm in! Floors are coed. People are great!! The bathrooms were renovated recently and are pretty nice. Two separate bathrooms on each floor and there are 2 stalls and 2 showers in each bathroom. There’s a lot of storage space in each room too. There’s a floor lounge on each floor with a fridge, sink, TV, and a couch. Overall, Shuswap House is an amazing first year dorm in Totem Park!! Really enjoyed living here!!
M	Mankanwar Singh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice if you get hamlesam and other new buildings
W	Wallace Zhao on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Liveable, but only just. Rooms are about 2m by 3m, twin XL bed, rather long desk, plenty of storage space for whatever stuff you may bring. Aesthetics are rather lacking, brick walls and white paint similar to commercial or prison buildings. Communal washroom has five taps, four toilets, three showers. Also no wifi, you’ll need a router or wealthy friends.
K	Kyle Nguyen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ May be an underwhelming place to live at first, but depending on who you get on your floor and building, living here for first year at UBC may be thrilling.
