Welcome
We’re glad you’re here to explore the benefits of residence living at UBC.
Residence is much more than just a place for your student to sleep and study. It’s about making connections. Year after year, students and alumni tell us that living on campus helped them become better learners and feel like part of an inclusive community.
Science is also on our side. Research shows that students who live in residence tend to be more successful in their academic studies, have increased self-confidence, and develop stronger life skills compared to students who commute.
We’re committed to providing services & amenities that create a healthy, safe and vibrant living environment in support of academic achievement and personal growth.
