Parking

Ok cheat sheet time people. Parking can be obtained from student services in the following ways. 1. Be a nurse. 2. Be a teacher. 3. Have a "medical condition" from therapy which is more than 2 miles from public transit to a doctors note saying it would impair you to walk x amount of feet. (I'm serious). Number 3 is obviously the way to go for the best chance. Find a good local doctor who will write the note. By the way you better be rich, probably are if you're going to BC and worried about parking you're land rover, it will run you 25 dollars a day. That's right. Every damn day. 25*7*4*4=2800 That's right folks. 2800 a semester.

Hard Drugs Are Hard to Find, Cognative Enhancement Drugs More Popular

In the study lounges and on the bus you'll regularly hear about kids taking adderall and ritalin or caffeine pills to study, but that seems to be a regular university thing, and it's not like you feel pressured to get into that too to compete. Aside from that, not many kids do hard drugs, or talk about them openly. It's very easy to avoid coming across that crowd. Weed is the most common drug, but alcohol is the main "drug" of choice. Most BC kids seem hard core drug-free being Jesuit and all that.
