Study Hall

Students studying at a desk

Tuesdays, 3 - 6 pm

Abdul Ladha Science Student Centre

Free

Study Hall... just like in the movies - except with more (effective) studying. 

Looking for a study space and resources to maximize your potential with university-level academics? Science Study Halls are designed specifically for UBC Science students. 

Come for the dedicated study space, the study buddies, and the free food. Stay for the on-site resources including the Science Peer Academic Coaches and quiet or group study spaces.

Join us Tuesdays from Sept 24 to Dec 3 (Note: there is no Study Hall on Nov 12).
