The University of British Columbia

I'm from Northern British columbia. It's our perception, possibly even just fine, that people from the South aren't as friendly and outgoing as we are in the North. I was absolutely astounded when I was not only giving directions but given a smile and assisted. Maybe it's just UBC but this place does seem friendly and the views are absolutely stunning. I think I would like working here if they'll have me

UBC is a gorgeous campus, we went on a tour and the students were super friendly it was excellent.

Beautiful campus. It's clean with lots of trees and grass. UBC is like a little town of it's own. Lots of places to sit and socialize, or to sit quietly and study. It's huge, so be prepared to walk a lot. Great school, great campus.

The academic programs at this university are top-notch, with knowledgeable and engaging professors who challenge and inspire their students. The resources available to students, from the well-stocked libraries to the cutting-edge research facilities, are truly impressive.

Great world class university. The campus has put a lot of development into the infrastructure, buildings, bus loop, sports fields, indoor sports, walk ways for foot/cycle traffic, and restaurant options. They have reduced the road ways, which is a good change in the right direction. They are lacking bike racks at each building, and should add those since getting from class to class is much better on scooter or bike, but security cameras and bike racks need to be installed to facilitate that.The new SUB is amazing, and gives students a place to study and hang out.Keep up the great work and innovation.One idea would be to put covered walk ways between buildings (similar to the bus loop cover), as it's raining most of the semesters, if those were made of solar panels, it would be a great use during rain, but also generate electricity for the campus during daylight hours, great dual use of the area. A modular system would allow easy maintenance and relocation as the campus changes and grows.

One of the best universities, UBC is installed in beautiful location - forest on 3 sides ; ocean on one side - ranked to 20 in the list of public universities as per world ranking.

Lovely campus to walk around. If you’re there on a weekend there’s not much open but you can get a sandwich/coffee etc from Blue Chip in The Nest.

One of the best universities in the country in the top places to live in the world. Top quality research institute. One of the most scenic campuses in the world with the forest, mountain and the sea in close proximity. Close to the famous Wreck Beach. Other beaches just minutes away.

A beautiful school. Every effort seems to have been made to make this a well organized and presented place of learning.The landscaping is gorgeous, and in the plethora of new buildings lie some historic finds dating back to the early 1900's, most of which seem to be in use.

This huge world famous university campus is so gorgeous, especially in the fall! It is so colorful everywhere! No wonder it is listed as one of the must-go tourist place in Vancouver as well as a great place to see the fall colors (when the leaves turn different colors in October). I really love their green college (the dorm area for graduate students). It looks like a nice retreat area!!! I wished I could come here for my master!!! Even if I have been to some top universities (e.g., Stanford, Harvard, MIT, etc.), this nice university still wins my heart!!! <3 Highly recommend coming here for a visit even as a tourist!!!
