Dozens of lucky UBC students will spend the year studying, socializing and living in 140-square-feet nano suites.

The suites, which are located in the university’s newly opened Exchange Residence, feature a kitchenette, a bathroom with a stand-up shower and a convertible bed that swings up to allow space for a desk.

The monthly cost of the nano suites is $700, a far cry from what’s typically available around Vancouver.
