Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Engineering - Batch of 2025
3.8
UBC is great but could be better.
Tips: UBC is not for everyone. It is a really expensive place and Vancouver in general is a pretty expensive city. Be mentally prepared to work hard be it your studies or your part time work. There's a lot of distractions here however you'll do really well if you just keep working and put your head down.

BSc in Astronomy - Batch of 2028
4.2
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.

Value for money! It gives memories, experience and opportunities.
Tips: This university will you give you lifetime of memories and skills that will help you in life, beyond your chosen career. You will find innumerable opportunities to explore your capabilities and use them in life. There are several clubs and design teams that you can join, which will really add up to your resume. There is also a good advantage of developing your network here since there are always new guest lecturers, workshops, seminars, etc. happening on campus.
Likes (Value for money): No doubt this university is costly for international students but it gives you exactly the university and adulting experience you need in life. There are innumerable opportunities for you to explore and develop your skills and it all depends on how you use them.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Because of the opportunities available in my chosen field which is mining engineering, due to the electrification of this field. We are transitioning from more human force to mechanical approach to reduce our carbon footprints which will lead to lesser jobs in future in this sector.

The city is really expensive but the university is helpful with financial aid for those who genuinely need assistance. Coursework can become quite intense and you'll have to learn how to make the most out of your university experience. More transparency could make things better.

The faculty is extremely well-qualified and leading in their respective fields.
Tips: There is definitely a lot of exposure to different cultures, and a lot of freedom given to students. Students at the University of Toronto Mississauga are in charge of their own studies, which I think was probably the biggest cultural change. Unlike in school, you are responsible for your own progress, and nobody will follow up with you. You take charge of your education and assignments. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the experience. While the workload can be tough, the assignments help us gain a better understanding of the topic and subject. The University of Toronto has definitely helped shape my personality and made me more independent.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is extremely well-qualified and leading in their respective fields. Professors are increasingly helpful and kind, especially during office hours, and will patiently explain concepts until fully understood. Some professors go out of their way to accommodate students. Teaching assistants are also extremely helpful. The teaching methodology is mainly research-centric, with many assignments involving research and project work, which aids in better understanding. The campus's diversity is reflected in the teaching faculty, with professors of various nationalities.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The campus is well-connected to the rest of the city, being a major bus stop in Mississauga with nearly all buses passing through. While bus connectivity is excellent, occasional delays do occur, though rarely. I've rated it four stars because, although there's good bus service, the train connectivity throughout the city isn't as strong, and you'll primarily rely on buses.

The university also provides multiple emergency contacts for students. The only potential risk I saw was from homeless people at night, but even then I felt safe.
Dislikes (Part time work): I rated the University of Toronto low on part-time work because campus and off-campus jobs are easily available. However, the university is highly competitive, and most students don't have time for part-time work. Some jobs are even available remotely, such as being a PA or TA, which can pay up to 500 CAD per week or 2000-2400 CAD per month.

University of Toronto (Scarborough) - smaller campus, better exposure, better opportunities.
Tips: Getting out of your comfort zone is essential at the beginning of your studies at the University of Toronto. You will need to adapt to the weather and the people, and there will be a cultural shift because there are people from all around the world. Do not shut any experience off. Make connections with faculty members because they will nominate you for scholarships and awards. Overall, since this is a smaller campus, the exposure is great, and the opportunities are tremendous. Build connections and network well. This is the only campus that offers co-ops, so join a co-op programme and get experience while you are studying.
Likes (Student Life): Since I'm on the smaller campus, you get to know everyone. I participated in extracurricular and joined multiple clubs, gaining experience and friendships. It is easy to start with the mentorship programs and then work with a senior mentor to guide you through academic, social and extracurricular on campus.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): You don't need visa sponsorship from your job because you qualify for an open work permit. With psychology, it was easier to get into mental health than psychology but since that was not my area of interest, I added a minor - Statistics and Food Studies. Statistics helped me realize that I want to be a data analyst. It was easier to find jobs in this field.
