 " I really enjoyed being at UBC. My faculty was flexible enough that I was able to tailor my schedule and explore a lot of different courses. The same went for clubs and job experiences. The upper management was constantly striving to make the school better; more sustainable, new fields of study, resources for the marginalized. One complaint from me would be that it was a huge university so some of the advisor/counselling/etc resources were understaffed, leading to some mistakes that would really affect the individual student. It's also quite pricey, as a lot of universities are, and I wouldn't have been able to afford the expenses without my parents (Some people were though). Overall 9.5/10, would take again. "

 " Love the campus and people I've met over the past 4 years. The faculty at the Sauder School of Business is amazing as well! Depending on the residence in first year, the cafeteria food is alright. Orchard commons has the best freshman cafeteria in my opinion. Upper year residences are quad shared apartments. So students end up cooking most of their meals. There are several good food options on campus as well that you can grab and go. In terms of classes, most Sauder classes have graded participation and mandatory attendance. The variety of classes offered are great and there's so many fields of study you can explore before declaring your major in third year. "

 " I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at UBC. There is plenty of opportunities to succeed in both social and academic areas. Professors in my area of study were always thorough, supportive, and truly cared for their students. I can't imagine having spent my undergraduate years anywhere else. "

 " 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. "
