University of British Columbia (UBC)

As one of the world’s top research universities, the University of British Columbia has created positive change at home and abroad for more than a century. Today our two major campuses - in Vancouver and the Okanagan - attract, nurture and transform more than 65,000 students from Canada and 140+ countries around the world.

Located 30 minutes from the heart of downtown Vancouver, the Vancouver campus is a spectacular location that is a ‘must-see’ for any visitor to the city — where snow-capped mountains meet ocean, and breathtaking vistas greet you around every corner. The campus is home to more than 44,000 undergraduate and nearly 10,000 graduate students.

The University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus brings worlds together by combining the resources and reputation of one of the world's top universities with a young and dynamic campus. Located in Kelowna, British Columba, students come from across the world to receive a top-ranked education in one of Canada's fastest-growing regions.

... the nature, culture and people were amazing. Canadians are very friendly and open-minded.
