An academically stimulating but a fun, social and live experience.

Tips: I did feel a bit homesick at first but the university was very welcoming. The faculty is great here and very supportive. The president's advisors here are always there for help. I did experience a bit of a cultural shift but it's not that hard at all so far. I'm fairly satisfied with my course and the university so far. There is always construction going on but the campus is huge so most of the time it wouldn't matter.

Likes (Student Life): I spend the morning preparing for classes and eating breakfast. I generally attend classes from 11-4. After class, I have a milkshake, explore campus, or spend time with friends or in the library. There are a lot of club events and opportunities on campus, and I'm involved in several. There are also observation events, festival events, a Science undergraduate society, and an alma mater society that regularly hosts events.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I'm unsure about future prospects given the stricter immigration policies to be implemented in Canada. Also, I'm looking for post graduate and Ph.D. options in other countries because there are more research opportunities in astrophysics and particle Physics in other countries.

Bachelor of Science in Geophysics - Batch of 2020

3.7

Fantastic location and friendly people but academically challenging.

Tips: Students should take the opportunity to mingle with international students and make the most of their experience. You should also try to secure work experience and internships near the university. The course is academically rigorous, so it’s not easy. A lot of self-study is required, as rote learning won’t help. You need to be dedicated and open to challenging your own biases.

Likes (Safety): Canada is extremely safe and UBC has its own police force. There is also a hospital on campus and Canada offers free healthcare. Canadians are extremely multicultural and welcoming towards immigrants. However, it’s important to push yourself out of your comfort zone and make an effort to assimilate.

Dislikes (Internships): The universities abroad often don’t guarantee internships for students. They have a job board and general guidance but it’s up to you to find and apply for jobs. The career counselor will guide you to make the most out of the opportunities.

Eye-opening but money sucking school.

Tips: Internal fees is too high, become permanent resident first and then go to this school. Very eye-opening for middle-class students like me because I used to think that very intelligent and brilliant students study here but then you get to know that you are as brilliant and can be more brilliant than them - they just have the money. You develop very high confidence in yourself.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): If you will come to UBC, it will be either for Bachelor or Masters - in both cases, you will earn good points for education. There is a high chance that you will get a good job, however no guarantee. But definitely a better chance of getting permanent residence after graduation from here than a college.

Dislikes (Indian Food): No on campus Indian restaurants or Indian food. Often during exam season, you will have to eat from outside but there are not many options available except Uncle Fatih pizza. It is also extremely expensive to eat outside. The on-campus Indian grocery store is also extremely expensive.

Fun learning and research experience

Tips: The weather is not that different. People are fun and helpful. If you're coming here for research-based programs, you don't have to worry about student debts, since you're given plenty of stipend from your supervisor as well as international awards.

Likes (Public transportation): As for students in thesis-based programs, it's easy to make friends with students in your lab. So you don't feel alone. Lots of events are organized, including community events. How much time you want to spend on campus depends on you, since there aren't a lot of classes.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): I'm here for a thesis-based master's, and I can reach out to my supervisor any time I want. Faculty as well as students are diverse. For research-based programs, you only have 1 or 2 courses per term without mandatory attendance. Courses are tailored to your research field, some have exams and some have only assignments and group projects.

Best engineering and business program in Canada.

Tips: Students joining this college should know that it has high fee structure. Vibrant campus community and abundance of opportunities to grow. It is always rainy here but it gives a lot of exposure. High research output and supportive faculty. There is a huge campus. Good food options are there with high living cost. It is one of the best engineering and business program in Canada.

Likes (Public transportation): UBC is one of the major transit hubs of Vancouver making it accessible from any part around the greater Vancouver area. They are also building a direct rapid train network to connect UBC to the rest of the city which will make it even better for students and faculty who live off campus.

Dislikes (Value for money): Being a top university of not just Canada but globally, makes UBC a rather expensive university with 4 - 6% tuition fee increase year on year. However, this is compensated by the amount of exposure one gets here along with the vibrant campus community. Living expenses are generally high considering the cost of living in Vancouver.
