The University of British Columbia, established in 1908, educates a student population of 50,000 on major campuses in two cities and holds an international reputation for excellence in advanced research and learning.

The largest is 30 minutes from the heart of downtown Vancouver, a spectacular campus that is a 'must-see' for any visitor to the city -- where snow-capped mountains meet ocean, and breathtaking vistas greet you around every corner.

The Vancouver campus boasts some of the city's best attractions and recreation facilities, including the Museum of Anthropology, the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts , the UBC Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant Research , and endless opportunities to explore forested trails in the adjoining 763-hectare Pacific Spirit Regional Park.

Accommodations

Going to university is not just about studying, it's also a social adventure that for many students begins in "rez."

Each year, UBC houses almost 8,000 students, faculty, and staff in eight residence complexes that circle the Vancouver campus. You'll find everything here from traditional-style rooms and apartments to townhouses and condominium units, all designed to help you adjust to university and make connections with the campus.

And the location couldn't be better: You're surrounded by acres of gardens with a regional park next door and the Pacific Ocean within walking distance.
