I love this place. Great energetic student body and great staff! I love the small campus however that does mean parking and lunch time can be challenging. You're not missing out on anything by applying here. Lots and lots of things to do in the surrounding area. No Regrats.
Always updating to keep up with education. What a great place to visit, had a great experience at this place, I will definitely be back to enjoy the atmosphere and the opportunity to visit very friendly and knowledgeable people, very well lit and friendly atmosphere, loved the time spent here. I suggest everyone visit at least once to experience this great place.
Pretty good University. Quite small, onsite housing is pretty good. Staff are professional.
It had been the most beautiful place l had ever live so far.
In Kelowna for some training and I was extremely impressed with the UBC Okanagan campus, well organized and designed, easy to get around. Beautiful amenities.
Friendly people here and the architecture is amazing as well as the top notch parking and ease of directions within UBC. A beautiful place!
I been here and its has everything kitchen beds althrough beds were little bit small but that didn`t get in my way . I gather some friends we were all praying to the one and only God . - the happy Christian
Its great place and beautiful building. However, rude student advisors, untrained professor, very depressing community. I have wasted 1 year at UBCO, seriously all the courses i took i had to study on my own and the professor are just reading from the slides.
How difficult is it to transfer from UBC Okanagan Arts to UBC Vancouver Arts? And also, I have the choice of UBCO vs Simon Fraser,which one is a better choice in terms of academic reputation and campus life?
The University of British Columbia's Okanagan Campus (commonly referred to as UBCO) is a campus of the University of British Columbia, located in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. It is home to over 10,755 undergraduate and graduate students. The 209-hectare (516-acre) campus is the research and innovation hub in the southern interior of the province, in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley.
This campus was originally Okanagan University College. I went here back in the 90's. Campus has grown. There are dorms and rental housing right on site. There is a bookstore in location, as most campus' do. It is UBC Okanagan for awhile now, but it is no where near the size of UBC in the lower mainland. I went there also, so it's easy to compare the two. I found the professors and staff well educated and accredited, here, in the Okanagan. Location is far out from the city. It is right close to the Kelowna International Airport. UBC in the lower mainland is also far out from the city also, so I don't think that's much of negative, unless you have transportation issues. City Bus has routes out to this location.
Great school in a great location close to climbing, biking and skiing.
Just passing through on my way to the land fill...wbich by the way was both friendly service with a smile...the traffic was ...well it was empty....nice...oh the Univercity students looked like they were distancing good...I mean they should know right?,?...take care stay safe..
It's an amazing place and the people are so friendly
Amazing place, amazing people and the best education possible !
Nothing wrong with the units minimal decor as it is a dormitory. I would give it a better rating if the air conditioner worked properly without over powering the tv. We unfortunately got a unit that smelled like bad body odour from a bunch of people who overdosed on spicy food.
Huge campus, lots going on. You should probably check it out.
My wife had a couple exams here so we took advantage and toured the grounds. Amazing campus.
Very nice campus. Beautiful scenery and nice modern buildings
Great campus and awesome life style in the beautiful Okanagan.
Nice campus although not as big as the one in Vancouver.
Very good place to stay in the summer time. Cheap and clean.
Walked in the forest behind. Really dry in there right now
Does this university teach about the life of cristiano?
One of the greatest schools to pursue higher studies in Canada and in the world. UBC Okanagan is perfect for people looking to get a world-class education from a top university, but still want to have that laid back slow-paced lifestyle. Pace of life here is perfect for people who may get too overwhelmed by the city life, and the professors and staff are amazing too! Plus the natural beauty here is absolutely beautiful!
From the moment I set foot upon the UBC Okanagan campus I knew this was where I wanted to spend the next four years. Four years later I can truly acknowledge that I have never made a better decision in my life. Beautiful facilities, found in an amazing location, filled with lovely people.
It is a beautiful place.Fresh air and congenial atmosphere
I did not have a good experience with the staff here. Some great profs of course, and a pretty campus yes, but many of their staff were rude, unprofessional, and unhelpful. On top of this, the advisors' lack of knowledge resulted in me not being able to get my minor by one course as they told me I had all requirements needed to get in to my next program, then when I fortunately went back to reconfirm in my last semester, they told me I would need one more course. Due to this being my last semester, I had no choice but to drop my minor. I wouldn't recommend unless you live at home and are wanting to save money by staying in town. Otherwise I would absolutely look to uvic or other schools.
Vancouver Campus has more facilities and better food!
Campus is beauty. Student body is energetic and there are a whole lot of club options. Coming from the U of R, this University is hella good. No matter what you're into, partying, outdoorsy, studying, athletics, arts, there's a group of people stoked on it. The Okanagan is obviously beautiful as well. Only complaints would be, large class sizes for a small campus (many of my 300 level are over 200 people), inaccessibility (university is pretty far out of town, and parking is rank), and the athletic facilities are pretty terrible (small gym, no pool, no sauna).
IMHO,
When it comes to --my field of study-- this college looks bogus and only shares names with the real UBC in Vancouver.
Be careful! If you like UBC, go to the real UBC!
Generally speaking, the faculty at UBCO are weak and the bright students end up leaving the campus for access to real academic resources.
However if you are only seeking a degree and don't care about receiving real education, this is the perfect place for you! Good luck!
Three years in and the best choice I've ever made was coming to UBC Okanagan!
Beautiful modern campus with new buildings as of only a year ago. This is a small campus especially in comparison to UBC Vancouver but the surrounding area is beautiful in all seasons. Worth it.
