In September 2018, nearly 10,000 new students came to UBC Okanagan to go to school, and UBCO expanded rapidly. UGCO new registrar Fred Vogt said: "We expect more than 2,400 freshmen in September. We also see more and more students continuing to study in continuing education, which shows that our campus and courses are very attractive."
According to UBCO, staff and faculty are preparing to recruit more than 3,680 freshmen, including 650 freshman international students. The international student population comes from 108 countries around the world. There are 8,996 undergraduate and 950 students pursuing a master's or doctoral degree.
“In just over a decade, the number of students on campus has almost tripled,” said Deborah Buszard, vice president and principal of UBCO. “There was an incredible change here, and it’s great to see other regions from Canada and More and more students around the world choose to study at UBCO."
“With the high number of students entering the school, we have made community development a top priority. From the innovative InnovUBC Center in Okanagan to the UBC Okanagan Institute, we are committed to making a meaningful contribution to society.”

Now apartments around the campus can only meet the needs of 20% of students, and 80% of students have to rent a house far away from the school. In the fall of 2018, CMHC announced that Kelowna's housing vacancy rate was as low as 1.9%, adding to the problem of student accommodation, making students looking for off-campus accommodation and the same difficulties on campus. The increase in rent is an inevitable trend.
With the 25% increase in students each year, parking around the campus is also a problem. For each academic year, students have a parking fee of up to $500.
