My personal rationale regarding University of British Columbia can be described as a one word, fantastic. As I had been dreaming about entering the University of British Columbia, there is so many advantages at attending UBC since there will be tons of great opportunities. Also, connections are very important which I was able to learn at UBC.

I am currently a second year student at UBC, and after having spent a bit more than a year at UBC, I can say that from my experience, professors can be chosen with RateMyProf and usually those reviews help to guarantee a smoother experience, so with that tool my experience has been pretty smooth.

Overall, UBC demonstrated its serious attitude toward academic developing and care for students. I especially like about its course designs since great variety of choosing fields can cultivate students’ views and academic abilities. I will recommend this university to students, who posse a passionate heart to strive for the future.

The university program challenged and grew my ability to do multi-faceted research and to present it in an interesting way. The classes were both large and small. Large ones numbered in the hundreds of students while small ones had around twenty students. This allowed for a diverse range of learning experiences. The teaching staff were of exceptional quality with wide ranging credentials who made themselves available to students. The university, in general, was a very conducive learning environment. However, I did not like the cold winter walks between the carpark and my classes. Also, during part of autumn I had to dodge many worms hanging from trees along the main pedestrian corridor. Student life was abundantly available and the variety of food has increased a lot since I graduated. I would definitely recommend this university to others. Even to this day, when I walk around campus I cannot help but feel a very international vibe and I have heard that, at some overseas education fairs, the university gets a lot of visits from prospective students and parents even when it positions its booth in inconspicuous spots. I am grateful that, ever since graduation, the university has helped open doors for me in career opportunities.

The Political Science program at the University of British Columbia is exactly what you expect. The subject matter is engaging and the professors are incredibly passionate about what they are teaching. I would highly recommend this program to a friend.

The POLI department at UBC is very sofisticated and offers a variety of classes as well as some very qualified professors. Professor quality can sometimes variate a lot; however, I’m only speaking on behalf of a second year student. I never intended on doing political science at UBC, but their POLI 100 class really sparked my personal interests to the point where I am now applying for an honours degree in the department.
