Best Neighbourhoods for Off-Campus Housing<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The medical program is unique in that we have a lot of our classes\/rotations outside the main UBC campus. I\u2019ve found that living in a neighbourhood like Kits <\/a>or Fairview <\/a>is a good balance of being relatively close to the UBC campus, downtown, and some of Vancouver\u2019s best attractions like Kit\u2019s Beach and Granville Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commuting Tips for UBC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bike as much as possible, but when the weather is less than ideal use your UPass included in tuition and take transit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parking Tips for UBC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Since parking at UBC is expensive, I recommend parking at a bus stop close to campus and busing the rest of the way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Favourite spots to park are on SW Marine Dr near the Kullahun Dr 41 bus stop or behind the (now closed) Safeway on W.10th near the Sasamat 99 bus stop!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
