 " Amazing school, but an extremely expensive city. The reason I rated the social scene 4 stars is half because of the expensive nature of clubs, food, etc. but also because Vancouver can be a little cliquey at times. However, I've found it totally easy to get a good support group in clubs and on campus! "

 " UBC is a great school. Vancouver is expensive, but you can find ways around it. UBC helps students find work positions both on and off-campus to make up for the expenses. Canada has great laws for recent graduates, giving us up to 3 years of a post-grad word permit to remain in Canada and look for work. "

 " Positives are that UBC is a prestigious and well ranked university in Canada, well-funded facilities, right on the Ocean and lots of nature paths nearby-- negatives are poor student mental health services and Vancouver is the second most expensive city to live in Canada "

 " It's a great school to be completing my pharmacy degree. Staff are very supportive and students are very professional. I enjoyed the campus activity and felt people are very open-minded. I didn't have any issues with social, housing, and safety. Overall I enjoyed my 4 years at UBC Vancouver campus. "

 " Decent school but needs to greatly expand parking, study spaces, number of programs, and reduce tuition. Campus life is decent but has taken a hit since COVID. Beautiful campus with a lot of potential for growth. "
