Kwantlen Polytechnic University has partnered with GEC Living to provide incentives to KPU students who choose to rent one of the company’s properties. Students will receive a month of free rent and prioritized access to GEC Living rentals near KPU Richmond. These properties are furnished; conveniently located; and include internet, housekeeping, utilities, and on-site staff. KPU said that KPU Surrey students will also benefit from this partnership upon completion of GEC Living’s Surrey Central property. “Finding safe and reliable housing can be challenging for students, especially if they’re new to the area,” said KPU Vice President, Students Zena Mitchell. “[W]e’re hoping to help ease that challenge by expanding the options available to our students.”
