UBC Collegia

Friends are integral to your success at UBC. Meet other first year students from your faculty, make new connections, and expand your UBC network. 

Join regular small group gatherings to build friendships, ask questions to your peers and upper-year students, and have fun together at social events—your UBC community starts here.

UBC Collegia will help you find all that UBC has to offer through conversations, programming, events, and resources. Explore your interests through various involvement opportunities, student resources, and supports, all while building your community at university.

UBC Collegia let me know about all the opportunities on campus and provided me with a solid support system.

By listening to the experiences of my peers and advisors, I really found out what interested me at UBC and what opportunities I could pursue to explore them - I would have never been confident enough to apply for various student leader positions like Imagine UBC or Peer Programs if it weren't for Collegia.

All Indigenous students—whether pursuing undergraduate or graduate level studies—are invited to participate in the virtual Indigenous Students' Collegia (ISC)! 

The ISC is a community for self-identifying Indigenous students to meet one another, connect over their experiences at UBC, and learn from upper-year peer leaders and faculty members. 

First year Indigenous students will have access to both a first year virtual Collegia community, as well as the virtual Indigenous Student's' Collegia community. More information will be shared directly with Indigenous students in mid-August.
