Living off campus
Living off campus is an exciting way to explore Vancouver’s unique neighbourhoods and establish your own favourite coffee shops and study spots.
Off-campus resources
Many factors are at play when looking for housing including the distance to campus, transit options, rental costs, and neighbourhood dynamics. The UBC Student Housing and Community Services website is an excellent resource to help you in your search.
Commuter Student Hostel
Have an early-morning exam or want to stay late studying at the library? Attending a club meeting or a sporting practice that has you on campus later than usual? UBC offers affordable overnight accommodations at the Commuter Student Hostel for students who want to spend the night on campus rather than head home.
On-campus student spaces
Collegia on UBC’s Vancouver campus help you feel like part of the university community by giving you a home away from home. The UBC Collegia Program provides residence-like gathering places with large study and socializing spaces, washrooms, and a full kitchen. These are your go-to places to make friends, eat, study, or nap while on campus and away from the comforts of home.
