 nGetting to the Student Union Building (SUB):\nThe easiest way to get 
 to the SUB by public transit is to take the 99 B-Line on Broadway stra
 ight through to its terminus at the UBC Bus Loop. The SUB is the build
 ing just after the UBC Recreation Centre, the big building to the lef
 t of the bus stop.\n \nWhen looking for the room number, please be aw
 are that odd and even numbered rooms are on opposite sides of the buil
 ding, so make sure to look on the odd side for Room 205! \n\nFor mor
