Testimonials
Charmaine - UBC student
“I was skeptical at first, but after experiencing living with a wonderful family I would never live in student residence again. We share meals and connect like a family, it’s a wonderful feeling.”
Linda - Happipad host
“Happipad has completely changed my experience with renting. All of the students who have lived with me have been amazing.”
Wendy - Happipad host
“My children connected with my student right away and loved to play with her. This gave me more time for myself and a role model for my daughter.”
Ben - UBC student
“As an international student I was very worried about adjusting to a new community. After moving in with my lovely host I felt like I was right at home. This has been by far my best student housing experience.”
