Today I went to have lunch with an acquaintance who works at the Regent- meeting her there was my first visit to Regent and the broader University of British Columbia (UBC) campus. The girl I met was actually the one who told me about Regent last year- it was great to see her and catch up over lunch at a cozy pub. I also dropped by and met the Admissions staff with whom I've been corresponding the last couple months... I was greeted like a long lost friend. While there, I also discovered that an acquaintance from Oxford works as their receptionist. Then in the lobby, I ran into the people who had invited me over for Christmas. Basically, what I am illustrating is that Regent is a small town within this big city. And that suits me perfectly.
