Finding the Right Balance
Eating a balanced diet is vital for good health and wellbeing, and also supports your academic success! Our Registered Dietitians support students in residence at UBC Vancouver by providing resources and guidance for various food and nutrition topics.
Nutrition Tools
UBC’s residence dining rooms have tools like menu icons, allergen lists, nutrition information and online menus to help you make educated choices about the food you eat.
Online Menus
View nutrition and allergen information, menu schedules, and filter by dietary preferences for all three residence dining rooms online and in the Nutrislice app.
Food Allegeries
While we do not have allergen-free facilities and cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment, we take steps to minimize the risk of exposure.
