Let’s face it, you love having a kitchen and the freedom to cook whenever you wish, but you like to have a cheat day every now and then, give the cooking a rest and check out these great places to eat on campus! Now of course if you have a meal card with UBC you can eat at the Totem or Vanier cafeteria which is great! However if you don’t here are some great places to eat on campus. The Nest, in case you haven’t heard of The Nest, it is the new student union building that was built on campus, it is located right next to the UBC aquatic centre and a less than 5 minute walk from Walter Gage Residence, there are many options for food inside the Nest, such as, Flipside a classic hamburger joint, Pi[e]r2 Pizza the infamous pizza joint, Peko Peko Sushi, Grand Noodle Emporium, and if you are feeling extra extravagant the Perch, and much more go check it out! Another popular place to eat on campus is the Triple O’s on campus which is located right in between the Sauder School of Business building, and Koerner Library, serving delicious meals, check it out on Tuesdays for the great deal! Another very popular area to eat on campus is the University Village! Located right next to the Staples and Golds Gym in the Village, you can either walk a short 5-10 minute walk, or even take the 99 B-line bus one stop, this convenient location for food consists of Pizza Garden, McDonalds, A&W, Pita Pit, Red Burrito, and if you venture downstairs you will find a large selection of different restaurants serving food as extensive as, sushi, Chinese, Vietnamese, and even Mongolian food! Remember UBC has a lot of food choices to offer, and I haven’t even gone through them all, but if you aren’t feeling any on campus food, just remember UBC is a short bus ride away from great places to eat in the city, either on Broadway, or even Downtown! Explore the city and eat, isn’t that why you are here?
Now if you’re of the 19+ crew, there are a added assortment of restaurants you could eat at such as The Pit, which serve delicious burgers, Koerner’s Pub which serve cheap tacos on Tuesdays you’re definitely going to want to check that out, and Mahoney’s and Sons restaurant which is also open to the under aged student for food!
