University of British Columbia (reviews)

As a student with a learning disability, UBC was very accommodating to me, with a no-questions-asked policy as long as students sign up for the Centre for Accessibility. This made classes a lot more manageable and I feel like I was truly able to put my best effort forward with accommodations for my learning disability.

I’ve been here for two years now, studying International Relations. Every student here got in for a reason; they are smart and driven. That makes competition in grades and high standards being held. But that is such a good plus! It’s a school that pushes you, but also helps you out along the way a lot. Great campus, I’ve had some really good professors, and there is always something going on anywhere.

University of British Columbia is well know for its academic achievements in its various faculties. The professors are top notch and the students gain a good exposure to not just study but also an exciting campus life

This is world class institution as most peoople know.That means that the facillities and the professors are extremely good. My major was psychology. I think that the program is quite general and doesn’t qulify you to work in the field which was a huge disapointment. However, as a a general program, it was quite good and I was satisfied with it. The campus is gorgeous and there are a ton of activities and clubs to join. However, the lck of subway/skytrain made it hard to get to. Also the housing in Vancouver, and especially around UBC make this a very unaffordable option for many. I was lucky in that I lived in the city with my mother and I could commute. But others who lived far away had a harder time with this.
