It's on the end of Point Grey peninsula and surrounded by Pacific Spirit Park. I'm an alumnus and also worked here, and it has so much to offer, whether it's the Museum or Libraries, Bookstore or gardens, events at Chan Centre or just riding your bike around the huge campus. Stop at Starbuck's or The Village to eat, or drive... More

Pedestrian friendly campus, with awesome vistas off the rose garden at the north end of main mall. You haven't lived until you have walk the 2km long main mall from end to end. See fountains, 30+ species of roses, world class architecture and the world's largest whale skeleton, too ! Walk down 400 steps to tower beach and/or the world... More

If you don't want to go to college there, I will!!! That's what I told my Daughter, who is a recent graduate. This campus has the most prime piece of property in Vancouver, and the surrounding neighborhoods are to die for. Visit the Rose Garden near the flag pole....probably one of the most 'photo prone' spots in BC!...and visit the... More

Campus is huge but has several nice views, fontains, etc. Lovely banks to pause. But very far from the city centre. Take bus 99 b line to go there.

UBC is worth visiting because of the scenic ride along the ocean and the typical West Coast vegetation. Be sure to stop at the Anthropology museum if there is time you won't be sorry.

A city within a city. UBC is a beautifully laid out University, with many conveniences and green spaces to study or relax in.

This internationally recognized research university provides an excellent walk with attractions and a beautiful view. The University is located on endowment lands on the west side with views of the outer harbour and the Straight of Georgia. The walks are very beautiful and should be enjoyed at a leasurley pace - you can even walk down a rather steep path... More
