Visitor Info:

• UBC maps, directions, and tours.
• A local copy of the map, and searchable campus map.
• To come from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to UBC, you can either take a taxi, or take the Canada Line of SkyTrain (i.e., subway) and then transfer to a bus. YVR-Airport Station is located above the airport parkade complex and can be accessed through both the Domestic and International terminals. Take the train toward Waterfront Station, and get off either at 41st Ave and transfer to bus #41, or at Broadway and transfer to express bus #99B. See TransLink for public transportation in Metro Vancouver.
• UBC Campus Security.
• Vancouver weather.
• Accommodations inside UBC campus:
  • Carey Centre
  • Green College
  • St. John's College
  • West Coast Suites
