Experience GEC Burnaby Heights

The facilities are great! I basically just have to move in with my clothes and everything was provided. We have nearby parks which is good for running. A few blocks away, you have multiple stores including Safeway for your groceries. Location wise, neighbourhood is safe and quite. Multiple bus stops are available within 2-10 minutes walk.

Ive lived at GEC Burnaby for about two weeks now, and I love every part of living here! The management is so accommodating and helpful, and they are always trying to make the best of your experience. A great place to stay as a student, too.
