Canadian students

“I wanted a place where I could grow both personally and academically, and UBCO stood out because of its sense of community and support. I loved that it wasn’t too big or overwhelming; I could build genuine connections with professors and peers. I felt confident that UBCO would give me the space to figure out who I wanted to be while still having strong academic programs and opportunities.”

“I live off campus but I really enjoy the spaces created for studying at the school, there’s a new place that I discover every week. My favourite study spot is the Media Maker Space. It is a space dedicated for Visual Arts and Media Studies students, and has a large table for collaborating and a couple computers for working at. It’s nice to have a space on campus dedicated for creatives to meet, collaborate and work.”

“Another moment that validated my decision [to come to UBC] was going down to the beach with my friends and watching the sunset over the ocean. As many times as I do this, it is still one of my favourite things to do. The fact that we can walk down to the ocean after class and go for a swim is just incredible. It truly is a unique university experience and an experience I would not trade for anything.”
