This huge world famous university campus is so gorgeous, especially in the fall! It is so colorful everywhere! No wonder it is listed as one of the must-go tourist place in Vancouver as well as a great place to see the fall colors (when the leaves turn different colors in October). I really love their green college (the dorm area for graduate students). It looks like a nice retreat area!!! I wished I could come here for my master!!! Even if I have been to some top universities (e.g., Stanford, Harvard, MIT, etc.), this nice university still wins my heart!!!

Beautiful campus - a little bit of everything for everyone, food scene, nature and history. The BEADY museum is a favourite and all the cute cafes and trails

A beautiful school. Every effort seems to have been made to make this a well organized and presented place of learning. The landscaping is gorgeous, and in the plethora of new buildings lie some historic finds dating back to the early 1900's, most of which seem to be in use.

Great world class university. The campus has put a lot of development into the infrastructure, buildings, bus loop, sports fields, indoor sports, walk ways for foot/cycle traffic, and restaurant options. They have reduced the road ways, which is a good change in the right direction. They are lacking bike racks at each building, and should add those since getting from class to class is much better on scooter or bike, but security cameras and bike racks need to be installed to facilitate that. The new SUB is amazing, and gives students a place to study and hang out. Keep up the great work and innovation. One idea would be to put covered walk ways between buildings (similar to the bus loop cover), as it's raining most of the semesters, if those were made of solar panels, it would be a great use during rain, but also generate electricity for the campus during daylight hours, great dual use of the area. A modular system would allow easy maintenance and relocation as the campus changes and grows.

I think it's one of the most beautiful university campus in the world but I guess I'm biased as I went there 1974 to 1978. So many changes since then but great to walk around with all the memories the beaches and the theatre's.
