St. Andrew's Hall has been a wonderful place not just for me to attend university but to grow as a person. Some of my most important friendships and life experiences started here and I always look forward to coming back each school year. My day-to-day life is made so much better not just because St. Andrew's Hall is really close to everything I need as a student, but because I have an incredibly supportive community around me. Thank you so much to St. Andrew's Hall for giving me and other students such a welcoming place to live.

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!
