The Ultimate off Campus Filming Locations Guide: Campus Quads, Rinks, and Hangouts
By Chloe Bennett
Q1: Is Briar University a real college you can visit?
A1: No. Briar University is entirely fictional, created by author Elle Kennedy for her book universe. Fans visiting Vancouver can, however, walk the university campuses used to build Briar on screen, primarily the University of British Columbia.
Q2: Can the public skate at the rinks featured in the show?
A2: Yes. Both the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre at UBC and Scotia Barn in Burnaby hold regular public skating sessions, drop-in hockey games, and recreational leagues when they are not booked for university games or commercial productions.
Q3: Was any part of Off Campus filmed in Massachusetts?
A3: No primary photography took place in Massachusetts. Second-unit crews captured brief regional b-roll stock for landscape transitions, but all character interactions, university exteriors, and hockey matchups were filmed in British Columbia.
Q4: Can fans visit the hockey house where Garrett and his teammates live?
A4: The house used for exterior shots is a private family residence in New Westminster. While fans can view the home from the public sidewalk, the interior scenes were filmed on a soundstage, and trespassing on private residential property is strictly prohibited.
