HOUSING
Housing on or near the University typically becomes difficult to find towards the end of August. It is a good idea to make arrangements for housing as early as possible.
St. Johns College: The College offers Residential Membership to graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and visiting scholars. Aside from taking up residence at St. John's, residential membership entails active involvement in the social and academic aspects of College life. Involvement takes the form of participation on various social and academic committees, and attendance at functions and lectures sponsored by or otherwise linked with the College. 2111 Lower Mall, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., V6T 1Z4 Canada / Tel. 604-822-8788 / http://www.stjohns.ubc.ca/
Green College: Since September 1993, Green College has provided a community for graduate students members, senior scholars and distinguished visitors to campus.
