For almost five years, I have lived in St. Andrew’s Hall, and I cannot imagine having lived anywhere else. The sense of community coupled with the welcoming and accommodating staff forge an incredibly supportive atmosphere for students. Not only is the location convenient, but the living space swells with a warmth and memory that croons, “home.” If I could do it all over again, I would choose to live here in a heartbeat. Thank you, St. Andrew’s Hall.

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!
