Student review [#47521] for Bachelor of Science
at University of British Columbia

I am in the Bachelor of Science program at UBCO. Being located at the Okanagan Campus comes with its perks and drawbacks. The class sizes in first year are decent and the lab provides opportunities to practice valuable scientific skills like open science and the process of science. However, each science course (e.g. biology) is only 3 credits and yet you are devoting at least 6 hours a week to this course. That would be fine if other courses like EESC101 was not the same amount of credits for only 3 hours of class time. It just feels like the courses that require more of your time should be more credits. Nevertheless, the courses that first year students are required to take are beneficial in narrowing your interests as you get exposed to bio, chem, physics, and calculus.
