INTERNATIONAL
STUDENTS AT UBC
Does Living in Vancouver Affect the Way You Dress?
The students in a Museum Methods course undertook research
in Fall 2015 for this exhibition. For this case, we were interested
in International students at UBC and their clothing choices.
The research methods included online surveys and in-person
interviews. Many International students stated that adapting to
the climate and wearing
comfortable clothing was important to them.
This is a creative representation of our research.

Canada.”
UBC branded clothing

‘Casual’ at UBC
“The environment of the campus encourages and allows us to
dress as we like or we feel comfortable in.”
