8 HARSH TRUTHS NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT UBC | UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA

[@karencxo]

Hehe thank you for watching our video on our honest takes on university -- everything from academics to housing to friends and romantic relationships! Feel free to comment with any more questions, or we would love to chat about any of the topics

[@matumba41]

This videooo was TOOOO needed for me. It does feel that it's hard to make friends at UBC if you're expecting people to approach you but as I've gone to approach more people, it's became a lot easier for me and with making study groups :D ALSOOO u and Jen are soo cute together!!! KARENNY

AWW SO GOOD ON YOU

[@rafaelsevillaiii]

Thank you for this video! Being in university, I relate to many of these points! I really like the insight and gave a me fresh perspective of my experience with them. I think the idea with situationships is a wonderful point

[@karencxo]

you are so welcome! i hope you can avoid situationships for the life of you! 😁

[@amib7560]

Wow! I go to university in alberta, not BC, but a lot of the points you guys made were spot on, even here haha! The biggest eye-opener for me was only having a couple of huge assignments rather than multiple little ones. A class in uni might have an essay worth 30% of the grade whereas in high school, there were 4-5 essays worth 30% altogether. Made it much easier to "practice" on the first few and average it out later. Definitely a learning curve haha, great video!

[@karencxo]

oh my gosh that’s so cool to hear about different perspectives yet the similarities 😄! THAT IS ALSO SO REAL WITH THE MULTIPLE ASSIGNMENTS :’) big essays are so terrifying because they’re also so subjective in marking, and it makes up so much of your grade!

Wdym I’m going to UBC Isn’t it still 2020?

[@settheory2219]

Wow. I found making friends in university super easy, especially when i was younger. I took 21 years to graduate the first time...lol

[@hxtyupk]

can you tell me about ubc RA positions like can a freshman apply for the position?

[@user-lg7es5gr3w]

What is the ratio of males to females in UBC Engineering? Out of the females in UBC Engineering, what percentage are Asian? Are the Asian females in Engineering competitive? Do Engineering students tend to hang out with mostly other engineering students or are there opportunities to meet other students from other faculties? Are most female engineers nerd chicks who like to sit around & talk about math & how things work?

[@karencxo]

mmm there are definitely more males than females in eng, but many are asian! it is a pretty competitive faculty, which branch you go into eng determines the specific competitiveness (ex. mech is hard to get into and super competitive). there are so many opportunities to meet students from every faculty, it’s not restrictive! and no hahaha eng students are very different :ppp and can be super outgoing
