35 College Campuses Where Hollywood Movies Were Secretly Filmed

30. University of British Columbia Okanagan: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)

While Vancouver gets most of the Twilight franchise’s love, UBC’s Okanagan campus was the secret sauce in Eclipse, used for its airy classrooms and serene mountain views. The film's classroom scenes—subtly lit and emotionally charged—were shot in Okanagan’s minimalist architecture, blending clean lines with soft natural lighting. The location added a level of realism to Bella’s school life while grounding the supernatural in something recognizably academic. The contrast between vampires and calculus? Peak tension. Okanagan’s understated beauty gave the film just the right dose of normalcy before the next round of immortal drama.
