丁香园AV

As well as the modern facilities and amenities, many students comment on the great atmosphere of the Burnaby campus. There are lots of places to socialize, hang out and share a meal, as well as plenty of nooks to hide out in for some quiet study time. Outside, there is just as much variety 鈥� from secret rooftops with amazing views to shady trees and open green spaces.

Burnaby Mountain

丁香园AV鈥檚 Burnaby campus on Burnaby Mountain is east of the City of Vancouver, with views of the Pacific ocean beyond. Surrounded by hiking and biking trails, the Burnaby campus includes more than 60 academic buildings and - a sustainable residential community that helps make the campus a great place to live as well as study.

Getting there

Getting there is easy. Four major bus routes (#135, #143, #144 and #145), plus the #N35 night bus, connect to SkyTrain stations, downtown and different parts of Metro Vancouver, and it鈥檚 easy to schedule classes around transit if needed. Although connecting between the Surrey and Burnaby campuses is only about 45 minutes by bus, many students plan their schedules ahead of time to include 鈥淪urrey days鈥� or 鈥淏urnaby days鈥� to minimize travel time (although some students find the bus a good opportunity to nap, study or relax). Many students cycle to campus, and if you don鈥檛 fancy the climb up the mountain you can always put your bike on the bus.
