UBC has two stunning campuses: one in Vancouver and a second in Kelowna called the Okanagan Campus. Both campuses offer excellent student opportunities for students, with the latter having scenic lake vistas, vineyards and a dry, mild climate. If you wish to study in Okanagan, please specify UBC-O on your application form, otherwise it will be assumed that you are applying to Vancouver. The Durham application process does not discriminate between choosing one campus or the other and you should not choose both as two out of your three application choices.
