| help: graduation (not mine)
This morning my mother told me my sister graduation's is tmr (8am) at UBC.
I have a few questions to ask:
Should I bring her flowers? If so, what kind is appropriate?
Is there free parking on that specific day for students who are graduating?
How long is the whole thing (including the picture time, etc) from your experience? I have a lab at 2pm, so I hope I won't be late.
What else should I be aware of?
TIA
mod, sorry for posting here instead of the campus forum, but I think it would be more useful to ask ppl who have graduated instead of ppl who are still in school.

Yes, buy flowers. If you can't find any at 8am, hopefully UBC will have a booth already set up by the Chan Centre where the flag pole is.
Parking at Rose Parkade used to be free. It is now $5 if you are attending the graduation ceremonies.
It'll be raining, bring an umbrella.
Photos look best if you stand in the middle of the grass, looking away from the flagpole on Main Mall.

They also sell flowers on location. I've never bought them, but I'm pretty sure there's a larger premium.
Why would you want to park at North Parkade, which is farther? Quote:

Why not grab some flowers today and keep them cool overnight? Might be easier than trying to find a florist in the morning.

False. There's plenty of free parking at UBC.[/QUOTE]
if we're not taling about weekends and evenings, the only free parking is on marine drive which is usually full by 7am. Aside from that I dont recall free parking anywhere else that wont take you 10 minutes to walk to your destination.
