For my wife and I, St. Andrew’s Hall (SAH) was more than just a well-taken-care housing facility on the UBC Campus. It was a home away from home. Being newcomers to Canada, the warm welcome that the SAH staff showed us at that time truly made our new journey in Canada delightfully enjoyable. The genuine care, hospitality, and friendship that they have given to us during our three years of living in SAH are simply beyond words. What truly sets SAH apart from others is their relentless effort in building a strong sense of community and belonging among their tenants. So, thank you, St. Andrew’s Hall for the unforgettable memories of being home away from home!

Message from the Dean

Dr. Ross Lockhart, Dean of St. Andrew’s Hall

Welcome to St. Andrew’s Hall!  We’re so glad you’ve found your way to our website that will give you a glimpse into our vibrant and caring community here on the University of British Columbia campus.  St. Andrew’s Hall is located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) people.

Founded in 1955, St. Andrew’s Hall is one of three theological colleges of the Presbyterian Church in Canada.  Today, we exercise our provincial teaching charter for degrees through Vancouver School of Theology across the street.  VST has an agreement with Regent College that enables those preparing for ministry in the Presbyterian Church to study at both institutions in a joint degree.  Non-degree programs are offered through our Centre for Missional Leadership to help equip leaders and congregations for mission.

We are pleased to offer hospitality and a home away from home for UBC students of all disciplines and their families through our 93 unit university residence.  Come join our diverse and international community of scholars, students and their families.  Welcome here and welcome home!
