This review is for freshmen students at UBC! Contrary to what I’ve heard about living in Vancouver, attending UBC, and how difficult it might be to find your people in this large community, making friends and connections was much less complicated than I could have ever imagined. UBC is a big campus and it might seem overwhelming at first, but you will be able to easily find someone in either your classes, the dorms, dining halls, or academic clubs! Don’t be scared to reach out to someone first, everyone is in the same boat as you here. Saying hi sometimes is all it takes to meet someone who might become a part of your life! Be open to new opportunities, join clubs and associations at UBC, and make connections with your professors. I noticed that something that worked for me was joining interesting clubs and applying for executive positions there to get more involved with campus life! I got closer to other teammates and developed some professional skills at the same time! Most importantly, don’t be nervous and have fun! You’ll meet the right people and have the best university experience, as UBC has so many great things to offer!

The campus atmosphere at the University of British Columbia was a very memorable experience. I had the privilege of being a student here and getting to enjoy all the school events that were catered towards students. For example, the welcome back week, where you could meet new people, and the clubs week for students to join different groups. There were many events outside of just studying for students to be able to enjoy and partake in.

I believe that the University of British Columbia is one of the top institutions in the world as it has a lot to offer. The classes that are offered to students, and the knowledge of every professor I have had the opportunity to learn from was a great opportunity for me. It also helps that the campus atmosphere itself is also pretty wonderful and very scenic.

The campus life of UBC is very much engaging and filled with student participation. With many clubs and spaces for students to gather, there are many opportunities to socialize and be a part of the community. As a commuter student, being a part of the on campus community can be a struggle. However, the clubs at UBC are flexible with student schedules. Additionally, there are many restaurants available on campus, this allows for convenience when hanging out with friends. Commuting to UBC is also very doable with the bus options available

UBC also has many features that allow for fun activities for students to do. There is a campus bar, an Anthropology museum, golf course and several gardens to visit.
