Studying at the University of British Columbia felt like being a part of something greater than the class itself. The campus is absolutely beautiful and full of opportunities to become involved in the community. Everybody is friendly, and there is a club or student group for all interests. The campus location is excellent for those who enjoy nature and the outdoors as parks, the ocean, and mountains are only a short way away. The professors I had the pleasure of meeting were all great and made learning feel challenging, yet rewarding, and my classmates were always supportive and looking to help each other. The people and culture are extremely diverse, and the community is inclusive and welcoming. Furthermore, the research and academic opportunities that UBC offers are hard to beat, despite being relatively competitive. The only downside is the high cost of living, which can make work-life balance a challenge. All in all, I would not change my undergrad experience at UBC for anywhere else, and I am very grateful to have had the privilege to study here. If you get the chance to visit or study at UBC, take it! You will not regret it.
