Surrounded by lush forests, blue ocean, and snow-capped mountains, UBC's stunning campus is like no other. Only a 20-minute drive from downtown Vancouver, UBC is served by 13 bus routes with connections to the Greater Vancouver region.
World-class city
A city second to none, Vancouver offers UBC students a perfect balance between bustling city life and the great outdoors. It's a safe city, beautiful, multicultural, and cosmopolitan, surrounded by evergreen forests, majestic mountains, and the Pacific Ocean. Consistently rated one of the best places in the world to live, Vancouver is also home to an exceptionally diverse population of 1.8 million people.
The city is located on the spectacular west coast of Canada, and is just 40 kilometres (25 miles) north of the US border. Vancouver is on major air routes from across Canada and around the world.
