Residence FAQ & questions.

Students do their own cooking, which is, to my knowledge, the only Bike School which offers this money-saving feature. If you have similar diets you can even cook together! Food shopping is just three or five kilometres away. See Life on Quadra Island page for more information on Quadra Island amenities and stores.
I'm not bringing a vehicle! Students who don't bring a car can get to the stores by bike, or use one of the shop rental bicycles for transportation. Rental is $200 for 5 weeks. $50 will be reimbursed if the bicycle is cleaned and tuned to its original condition.
