Student review [#23681] for Economics and Psychology
at University of British Columbia

The arts program has been an exceptional experience, especially as a first-year student coming with great uncertainty. Honestly, the first semester was difficult for me as I was completely overwhelmed with this new workload as well as being away from my family for the first time. However, the people I met along the way as well as the support from my professors made the process a lot easier. I found that almost all of my professors were prepared to be involved in each students learning experience, which was a huge help in such large classes. In general, the school is actually very concerned about the lives of the students as I was always kept up-to-date on important events and notifications. Emails were consistently sent out whenever significant news developed, which made me feel quite safe in the midst of a pandemic. Overall, my first year as an art student at UBC was memorable, I went through many ups and downs, but now, I am not only looking forward but certainly excited to be returning for my second year at UBC.
