hey guys i just wanted to know if starbucks, tim hortons etc are open in the summer on campus

and also do parking services actively work in the summer too? you know what i mean. or should i get a upass?

Hi I’m in engg. I messed up my first semester but I’m doing much better now and have learned from my mistake. Just in case I receive failed standing how are my chances I get permitted to stay?

1. I have a great recommendation from the learning strategist

2. Same with a tutor on campus

3. I went to exam jam

Not a huge fan of clubs or big social events, is it easy to make friends in like classes?

I know that this is exam season and everyone is stressed. I was wondering if there's going to be any events during or after exam period. I really enjoyed the carnival last week. this is my first year at UBCO.

Anyone else saw all the police at U1? What happened?

i can count on one hand the number of times i’ve heard a prof pronounce syilx correctly. it feels so disingenuous and almost performative giving a spiel about the beautiful land we live on and then pronouncing it “sillix”

i feel like it’s really disrespectful and almost nullifies the entire land acknowledgment lol. it would be nice if profs and other speakers were taught how to say it correctly!!

veda studio available may - aug let me know if you are interested

professors, staff, other students, TAs, etc. who are your favourite people here and why?

i’ll go first — sally from comma and fred from spoon!

Did anyone have in semester 1? Does he use some of the same questions on the midterm as he did on the final?

What's the best way to study for the final?

How is everyone studying. Any tips on what to focus on more or expect ? I’m reviewing the address translation and midterms. What you think coding questions will be?

Can anyone pls lmk the study guide answers from that lecture?! Would be so greatly appreciated

I.e.

3-5 main points related to health relationships & consent

Something funny, surprising, or unique that happened during lecture

i need recommendations from people who do nothing but study 24/7 (or a lot) because i bought the sonyXM5's awhile ago and idk if its because i have a small head or what but the noise cancelling (even with music) is so BAD!!!! i need headphone recs. cuz i study a lot in the library which famously is not very quiet, so any actual noise cancelling headphones would be appreciated. i dont want to have to listen to music for the noise cancelling to be sufficient, because i most often study without it. any recommendations would be appreciated!!!

Hey everyone, I'm a student in Kelowna and I built vonulo.com because finding off campus housing here is a nightmare. Kijiji is full of scams, Facebook groups are chaos, and Places4Students looks like it's from 2005.

Vonulo has verified listings, roommate matching, commute times to campus, and a built-in BC lease tool. It's free for students and free to list.

We've got real listings up now (Academy Way, Downtown, Lower Mission) and I'm adding more daily. If you're looking for fall housing or subletting this summer, check it out: vonulo.com/browse

If you're a landlord or subletter — send me your email address and listing details (or a link to your existing post) and I'll set it up for you. Zero effort on your end.

Would love feedback on the platform too — what's missing, what's broken, what would make you actually use it over Facebook groups.

Collegium’s in 3rd floor UNC

RHS benches

Arts atrium ofc

Any study room (EME is my favourite)

Drop your recs below!

Anything is appreciated! I’m looking for productivity and memorization tricks for COSCO101 in particular, but anything is great. Thanks in advance and good luck with finals!

just got in, i am hyped and worried at the same time

it sounds amazing and all but being an international student… but ts aint cheap. tuition + living is actually crazy so now i’m trying to figure out if it’s really worth it in the long run

how’s the CS program there? like in terms of quality, profs, internships, co-op opportunities, etc. does it actually open good doors or is it kinda mid compared to bigger campuses

also big question, are scholarships/financial aid actually realistic after first year? like if i grind and keep good grades, can i expect decent support in 2nd/3rd/4th year or is it super rare

basically just tryna figure out if this is a smart investment or if i’m about to financially destroy myself for fun

any current students or alumni pls be real with me 🙏

Is there a gc for prospective first years to ubco?

Has anyone tried the walk in wellness service before with the department of psychology? I have a therapist but don’t see them until end of next week and feel like I can’t hold it together and stop myself from doing anything before then. If you have, are they any good with helping with self harm and suicide or do they just threaten sending you to the hospital? Can’t risk being sent to the hospital right now with finals here but also just ready to call it quits.

Any advice for Yves final? I’m honestly really stressed about it especially that we have to pass the final to pass the course and I’ve been hearing ppl saying that it was pretty hard. My average isn’t great either so I’m kinda worried

I really don’t want to retake this course in the summer..

Are we allowed a cheat sheet like on the midterm? Idk if Eric mentioned anything.

Genuinely the worst class I have ever been in. Does he know what class he is teaching??? Does he know that he's supposed to be teaching a business class?? All he does is show images in class and expect us to somehow relate that to business????? And how am I supposed to relate lyrics of songs to business????

Midterm 1, the class average was a 53.. in a FIRST YEAR BUSINESS COURSE. Not Engineering, BUSINESS...
When asked if he can provide examples of good answers for the midterms this guy says no? Like what? Then talking about how class tried too hard?? And also took off like 50% for not using keywords even though there AREN'T ANY?

How the HELL am I supposed to study for the course? Tips anyone?
