Housing

Go Global exchange students have priority access to on-campus housing through UBC Vancouver Student Housing. For details about on-campus housing including residences and fees, please visit the UBC Vancouver Student Housing website.

Please read this carefully before submitting your housing application.  

  • Although exchange students have priority access through dedicated spots for Go Global students, on-campus housing is NOT guaranteed due to high demand and limited space. Only 50-60% of students will receive an on-campus housing offer.
  • Only students who submit the online housing application by the deadline will be considered for a spot, determined by random lottery.
  • Students with mobility-related disabilities and chronic medical conditions who have special housing needs should check the UBC Centre for Accessibility website to see whether they meet criteria for priority housing and apply by the stated deadlines. 
  • We strongly advise students to prepare a back-up plan for housing due to limited space. For other housing resources, including off-campus options, check the UBC Vancouver Housing Information Packet 2024/25 (PDF).
