Student Sound Offs
"It has good interdisciplinary studies programs that allow you to design your own degree by combining two different programs."
"UBC has a good reputation, so my degree looks good to employers."
"Gorgeous campus with lots of great resources (buildings, technologies); also. there is a huge emphasis on sustainability."
"The university is now very large, and as a result much of the personalized education one could receive with smaller classes is lost."
"The UBC Farm is the only working farm in Vancouver and provides UBC with organic, fresh local produce."
"Our campus is amazingly beautiful, and has some of the most intriguing and calming study areas, such as the Japanese gardens."
"The experiences you go through by living in residence deserves more attention. You learn how to be independent and manage your time. while having the time of your life. You also meet a lot of friends that you might not have met through classes."
"The main campus is very large and there is a lack of a community spirit."
"UBC is often revered for its leading innovations in the areas of science, technology, engineering, etc., but it also has a vibrant liberal and fine arts program which is often overlooked."
"There is a [recreational] program for everyone; from those who like to play team-based sports, to those who just want to practice, to those who just want to use the gym and cardio facilities. It is all very accessible."
