Best Student housing center in Canada

t	taylor dotto on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I would not recommend living here at all. The space is extremely small and cheaply built. The windows in the rooms do no have screens on them and the air conditioning blows dust all over the room. I had to dust daily. The wifi is terrible and they shut it off completely in august, in the middle of the summer semester. They claim to care about students but charge an insane amount for rent, have sub par amenities, and will not even provide stable internet. The move out inspection is ridiculous. They make you pick a time frame and wait around until someone comes to inspect your unit. No one ever showed up and I waited for two hours while trying to get ahold of someone. I had a very, very unpleasant time living in Veda and would not recommend it to anyone. Pay the same amount of money (OR LESS) for a suite downtown. The commute is worth it.
K	Kate Broughton on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I assume the attached picture is useful and related to everyone reading these reviews. If you are a tenant in Veda, then before you move out from your room you will receive a paper attached below. Is it better if the tenants can see the cost list or know that they have to frequently defrost the freezer of their refrigerator before they sign the contract? We have to frequently defrost the freezer of their refrigerator whenever you want to use the freezer. Moreover, my fried food in the refrigerator became moldy in about a week. Several months ago they replaced the glass bathroom door with a cheap and light plastic curtain which easily results in water damage in the bathroom. I assume good landlords are the ones who help tenants avoid damage but not the ones who are waiting for collecting repair fees. If posting this paper violates any laws, please let me know. I assume tenants have the right to know what is waiting for them before they move out.
H	Hannah Wellon on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've been living at VEDA for the past two years and I have had nothing but a positive experience. Before I moved to Kelowna I was at university elsewhere and pulled a last minute transfer to UBCO, and the staff here at VEDA were able take me in with such short notice from my behalf and were beyond helpful through the entire process. The apartments are great quality and perfect for students who just want some space for themselves. The staff are genuinely some of the kindest people I've met and are always so quick to respond to any questions you may have, even if it's because you don't know how to open your blinds (I know I can't be the only one). I'd definitely recommend VEDA for any students looking for a space close to campus with a great community. (:
K	Kiri Witmer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The staff do a wonderful job of making Veda feel like a community. There are lots of social opportunities (at yoga classes, pizza nights, paint nights, the gym, the pool table, & in the TV room). The facilities are new, clean, & a 10min walk to UBCO.
J	Joel Johnson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I lived at Veda for 5 years and don't have any complaints at all. The buildings are always well maintained, along with other facilities such as gym, games room etc. It's been a great place to stay at throughout university. Dealing with all the staff has always been great, including Jess, who is always quick to respond and will do her best to help you.
A	Aadil Daudpota on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ VEDA has been an amazing place to call home for the last 4 months. If you're looking for a studio with stellar views then this is your spot. It's got a hidden trail, plenty of rooms to get work done and a nice gym set up. Plus the veda crew has been awesome at organizing events even in the mist of a pandemic (shout out to Chloe, Jess & Shane).
C	Carly Sivasankar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lived here for 2 years and it was decent. Rent is pretty cheap considering other places on the hill are around the same price for a single bedroom in a 4 bedroom place. Amenities are nice if youre someone who likes to go to the gym or hang out with friends not in your apartment. Study rooms are also really nice; only thing that was an issue in the last 6 months I lived there was the internet, ARCWIFI is not very good, disconnects, constantly went down and they never answered their phone when tenants tried to call. But overall building staff is very good at their job at VEDA and I would love to live there again if I have the chance :)
A	Anna Maile on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've been living at Veda, in Apex, for about 3 months now and I love it here! Everything about the apartment unit itself is so cute and perfectly sized for one person, and the design is so modern too. Perfect amount of space for nearly anything - at least for me. The floors are a little thin so you can hear your upstairs neighbors, but I'm personally not too bothered by it. I assume the walls are thicker since I can't hear a thing from my other neighbors. The views are great, the games room and theatre are really nice extras as well. Overall, I've had a great experience at Veda and I'm probably gonna spend the next two years here!
