Hey! I’m a student dev and I’ve been working on a project called LifeByDorm (https://www.lifebydorm.ca/) to help us see what these residences actually look like. I built it because the official photos are usually a trap and don't show the real state of the rooms or the Wi-Fi quality. If you’ve lived in res, could you take 30s to drop a review or a photo? It’ll be a huge help for the incoming first-years next year. If you are looking for your next dorm check it out!

Hi everyone!

I might be late to ask these questions, I am going to my third year in science. I'm curious to hear from other UBC Science students (or recent grads). Looking back, what do you wish you had done earlier in your degree to build a stronger resume?

• Are there any certifications that are actually worth getting?
• What are some good ways to gain relevant experience outside of coursework?
• Are there any opportunities at UBC that more students should know about?
• What skills do employers or research supervisors value most in science students?
• Is there anything you wish you had started earlier or taken advantage of?

I'd love to hear any advice or recommendations!

I reallly like music. To the point of which my playlists on Spotify have been capped at 10K songs, currently my second one is at 5500 songs, and this one is the one that has been on REPEAT.

However, I know little about actually making it myself, in the sense of the production needed. I mean asides from garage banding during elementary classes, or recording random humming and melodies one might create in the shower, or on the bus home or even while walking, to jotting down some lyrics on your notes app. I feel like everyone has this bug in them to just CREATE.

I am working full time at a kids camp for the summer, and today we had this amazing music producer come in and make music with the kids! Just by being around everyone, I was totally amazed and blown away with the creative liberty someone can have to create literally ANYTHING and EVERYTHING they can possibly create. It was filled with so much positivity, and belief that you can literally create whatever you put your mind to and it was truly inspiring. Everyone seemed enjoy themselves to the fullest with the experience.

That being said, it kind of made me want to make this post and really start to create some music! Well, to be frank making solo music ALONE, without knowing very little, for me is very daunting. I think that it would be a very uphill battle to climb alone, and something I WISH I had full time to really get into. However by making this post, I was wondering if there are different people that know certain aspects of music making that could potentially come together and collaborate with a student band with me!

What I would bring is creativity and passion in lyrics, and melodies I would say I have a knack for catchy beats (though that can be said by anyone!). But truly, instead of letting this summer's free time be passed doomscrolling or sleeping in, why not try something new? I am going into my fourth year now, and I have realized that I never really entertained any hobbies outside of recreational sports to get that additionoal boost of physical acitivty.

So PLEASEE if you are reading this, and you either A) know a lot about music, or B) know very little like me but have that creative part of you ITCHING to at least start in the direction of making music, please reach out! I hope to create an instagram gc, with people who are interested and we can go from there!

Thank you for time to read this lengthy post!

sorry might be a dumb question but i’m trying to get on a waitlist for a class and this is what popped up when i clicked “start registration.” does this mean you have to take chem 213 / 313 to be eligible for this section of the class ?!

for context those are the only courses that pop up as options in the drop-down menu in their respective areas

Hi everybody. I'm a recent transfer student from Langara college who doesn't know anyone at UBC. I've heard its difficult to make friends here and wanted to get ahead of it by making a post on this sub to see if I could start a dialogue with anybody. Feel free to shoot me a message and see if we click.

Edit: I'm a 19M just to clarify. Don't want to mislead anybody!

My parents won’t be able to help me move and I can’t drive nor do I have a car, so I’m currently researching ways I can move in solo. My first thought is getting an xl uber but I’m not sure if it’ll fit all my stuff (I have 4 large containers) and it seems a bit pricey. If that’s my best option I’m fine with that, but if anyone has experience moving alone please let me know what methods you recommend and how it went for you.

Hi! I’m an international student in psych, grading may 2028. I’m wondering how hard it is to find a job as an international student in Vancouver canada.
I am a psychology major hoping to go into marketing. I hold several club exec positions + 2 internships, one of them in marketing from a fairly known company.
If anyone has any tips + what to expect and the reality lol it would be greatest appreciated

Hi guys, I got admitted to UBC!! I'm so excited. That being said, on my email they say "While an official high school transcript is not required to finalize your offer of admission, I encourage you to have an official copy sent to our office as some coursework may be required for registration purposes". My second half of senior year, I didn't do too hot; I didn't fail any classes or anything but least to say I got senioritis. I already did 30+ credits of courses at my current uni too.

I'm just extremely paranoid, they can't rescind my offer for shitty senior high school scores that happened a year ago, can they? BTW they should already have my high school transcript on file, because I've already sent it, but apparently they don't.

Hi, I'm planning on taking econ 301 with prof Severinov next sem so was wondering about the workload, exams, etc. If anyone has taken it with this prof can u share some thoughts? Appreciate it!!!
