University of British Columbia (reviews)

Attending UBC for four years has been a great experience for me as I felt valued and included in the community. Especially for the Bachelor of Arts programs, all faculty members embraced students of different backgrounds and identities, and I am very grateful that I could be a part of that faculty.

Overall, I had a good experience. I spent a lot of years in this university from undergrad to grad. I only have a complaint about not having any subway, only bus available. Other than that, good classes, professors, and classmates.

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.
