Collegia spaces
Your UBC Collegium is a place where you can take a break between classes to socialize, use a kitchen, or relax in a comfortable, friendly, and welcoming environment. Come hang out with other commuter students, take a nap, or find a study spot — you’ll always have a place to call your home away from home at UBC.

Discover resources and opportunities
UBC Collegia will help you find all that UBC has to offer through conversations, programming, and resources.
