college week in my life: last week of the term! || UBC

[@hafu]

You definitely need some motivation to attend that 9AM Neuroscience class...especially when it's raining

[@lina.lecompte]

it was such a struggle most mornings hahaha

[@mikehunt4_2]

ur content is so cute and aesthetically pleasing

[@lina.lecompte]

thank you, I try!!

[@Msforevermakeup21]

Omg just found your channel and obsessed!! Please do more of these types of vlogs!!! I go to College in van and it’s so cool that you’re so close!

[@lina.lecompte]

ahhh thank you!! I will going forward - might be a while tho (check the community tab on my channel if you're interested on why I won't be able to film that for a bit).

[@BintiMadeline]

Hi Lina you have such a beautiful channel it inspired me to start my own channel once I got to campus! Congratulations on Graduating!!

[@mariaibrahim5150]

I just finished my UBC application and found u in my recommended kinda creeped out but i just wanted to know the pros and cons of living in UBC and Vancouver in general so it can help me decide what uni i should go to next year

[@lina.lecompte]

hahaha that's funny! Honestly there's tons and tons of pros - it's very culturally diverse, it's absolutely gorgeous (we have the city, but also the mountains, and the ocean - so you can practically do everything), the UBC campus is really beautiful and most people are really welcoming, UBC is on the top 40 list of universities in the whole world if that's something that matters to you, and there's quite a lot more. For cons, I'd say it's a pretty expensive city, especially in terms of housing costs, and some people would rather have a smaller campus (not me! but I guess it's a preference), also depending on where you're from you might not be used to the winter here- there's a time period where it is basically just constantly rainy and cloudy (and sometimes it snows), and it gets dark at around 4pm. Again though - there's a lot of positives!

[@mariaibrahim5150]

@@lina.lecompte Ya the thing is i live in Kuwait where it is practically the hotest country in the world and i feel like not having sun would affect my mental health a lot but i honestly fell in love from the glimpses u showed of the campus and city. But thanks a lot that was very helpful cuz ill need to start seriously thinking about it IF i get an offer 😂😂 cuz im also apply to other top universities in canada including U of T where the weather is even worse so i dont really know what to do

[@lina.lecompte]

Maria Ibrahim that’s totally fair- it would definitely be a big change! But in terms of weather it’s probably the best place in Canada to go to university- Toronto is much much colder and it snows wayyyy more than it does here. My boyfriend goes to school in Toronto and it gets to -25 degrees Celsius whereas in Vancouver that doesn’t really happen since we’re right by the ocean.

[@mariaibrahim5150]

@@lina.lecompte Ya i heard about the extreme weather in Toronto and in Canada in general it's the major drawback for me but im sure in thr end whatevet i decide it woulf be great either way and ill just get used to the weather change and thanks again for your help!! Maybe ill see next year at UBC!!!

[@YasirYSR]

@@mariaibrahim5150 Hey, did you joined a university in Canada? if yes, may I know which one. because I am also looking forward to join in top universities, may I get some advice from you.

I turned 18 a few days before the referendum was due and couldn't vote, every time I tried they said "your 17 you can't vote" even though it said on the website you must be 18 by the deadline which was Nov 30 then it was changed to dec 6. SMH

what the heck that's sooo weird, and they say they want young people to get out there and vote smh.

[@pr_nj_l]

Omg I love your week vlogs and I'm probably watching it for like a millionth time I think you're really amazing and funny especially the cooking part please make more such videos 💛

[@lina.lecompte]

ahhh thanks so so much

[@mitchelkenneth1229]

luved it when u were cleaning

[@jemimasanyu]

hi I love how you give alot of description on your experience in the university could I ask why do you have many different classes eg photography acting neuroscience etc and you've picked like two courses could you kindly explain 😊

[@lina.lecompte]

So you have to take courses that go towards your degree (like the neuroscience courses did), and the requirements for each degree are different. But you also have to take some electives to be able to graduate - so my electives were that english class and the photography class :)

[@jemimasanyu]

@@lina.lecompte thanks 😄 u are actually really amazing

[@dbuc4671]

the music links please? btw i love the jump cut edits lol the music is funny that way

[@lina.lecompte]

I get all of my music from EpidemicSound.com , it's a licensing website :) I'll see if I can track down the specific songs later!

[@user-cy1jk5ly3x]

Hey I'm taking psych at UBC too!!! I'm wondering what your plans are after graduation and what you want to do with ur degree? I'm wondering what career u would take!!

[@lina.lecompte]

I'm also doing a minor in business so I'm thinking something marketing related having to do with consumer behaviour :) But I'm not really sure yet, I'm also considering other options. We'll see!

I need that neuroscience of motivation class tbh 😂

[@Li-jn2qz]

Hi! Congrats for your video! Very interesting! Did you find difficult to apply to UBC? I know people need to do a personal profile and I am afraid I may not be accepted.

[@lina.lecompte]

I have a video on my channel about the application process with a bunch of tips! if you go to the main page on my channel, there's a playlist titled "UNIVERSITY". It was definitely time consuming and stressful to apply, but if you were really involved in your community, then the personal profile should be okay to write!

[@shiftinghaze212]

was that mario kart music lmao

[@lina.lecompte]

hahahah yes it was, I had to include it for the driving sections! I'm happy you recognized it!!

[@Theskatingsisters]

[@mariavaleeva7507]

You’re SO amazing!

[@jenykk]

hey! I just got into UBC and I was wondering if you know anyone in media studies or the B+MM masters of management program? I couldn’t find a lot of information about it. Also, how does the dreary weather affect you? Is it hard to keep motivated when it isn’t nice and sunny? I heard it is difficult to find housing after first year since it isn’t guaranteed. Is that true?

[@lina.lecompte]

Hi, congrats! A few of my friends are in media studies, and others in the B+MM program! They're both fairly new programs, I think Media Studies only started about 3 years ago, so there isn't a ton of information about it because I don't even think anyone has graduated with that title yet. I've lived in Vancouver for about 10 years now so I've gotten pretty used to it, but it definitely is harder to stay motivated in winter.... although sometimes its better in terms of studying because you're not incentivized to go outside, and are almost forced to study if that makes sense. And yes! it is harder to find housing after 1st year since it's not guaranteed - especially UBC residence, but most people find places off campus that are pretty close by :)

[@juliaunger5831]

Do your teachers give you a copy of their slides when they do a lecture?

[@lina.lecompte]

most of them will post them online before class starts :) but a lot of them will post them afterwards

[@juliaunger5831]

Lina Lecompte ooo okay , thanks!

[@victoriaserrano1445]

i just finished applying to UBC im from Texas so i was wondering if i could pick your brain about UBC i saw you answered about the housing and how it can be an expensive city. I would be studying kinesiology and i just wanted to know how the school terms work and vacation and how big classes normally are.

[@lina.lecompte]

Vancouver is a pretty expensive city to live in - most of the info you'd be able to find online!! Also tuition for international students is much more expensive than it is for a local like me, so you might want to check that out on their website as well. Winter Session goes from September - April and summer terms are from May-August :) Class sizes depend on the program - mine are pretty big because psychology is a big program here at UBC (usually about 100+ students in a lecture), but some of my electives have wayy smaller classes (for example, my photography class only had 20 people). I'm not sure about kinesiology though!

[@anghelmrnda]

do u do a lot of presentations where u stand in front of the class?? 😭😭

[@lina.lecompte]

not really!! But it depends on what classes you take - for the most part I haven't had to!

[@anghelmrnda]

@@lina.lecompte ohh thank u!

[@sterben5995]

5:20 pause it there and you will notice something

[@Kayla-fm2ie]

I want to get into UBC buisness so bad:( but it’s extremely selective. Do you have any advice for my application? Also, does not getting into the program you applied for mean that you’ll get rejected from the school?

[@lina.lecompte]

Hi! I have this video up on my channel for application tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qovEpmRpmLSnbc0 It doesn't necessarily mean you'll get rejected, you may just be accepted into your second choice. So if your first choice was Business and your second choice was the Faculty of Arts, then if you don't get into the business program you might be accepted to arts and you may be able to transfer into business in a later year

Hey Lina! Love your vlogs! I want to go to UBC, but I live in America. Do you think the whole legal process of going to another country would be worth it?😊👌😉

[@lina.lecompte]

Hi Grace! Thanks for watching!! I think it's definitely worth it - there's a lot of American students here and from what I hear, the process is not that difficult :) plus I think it might end up costing the same as an American university since you'd be here as an international student?

[@575em]

How would you say making friends at UBC is? I applied there for fall 2019 but I've heard it can be pretty isolating so I was just curious :)

[@lina.lecompte]

mhmm I commuted in my first year so I found it a lot more difficult than my friends who lived on residence - but I was in a program called "Collegia" for 1st year commuters that was fairly helpful in meeting new people. Honestly, its a matter of getting involved in different clubs and groups and often times taking the first step to talk to someone! It can obviously be isolating (like any other place) if you aren't very involved in the community - I think it's ultimately what you make of it!

[@575em]

Lina Lecompte thanks for the answer! Hopefully I can get in😊

I have friends that graduated the program about 1.5 years ago and they're making about 80K a year with the same degree :) Just because you haven't had the best luck/situation, doesn't mean you should bring a pessimistic outlook into what my own path is going to look like!

@@Hanzo1777 Honestly, I think you need a shift in attitude. If you keep telling yourself there's no jobs related to your area, then how do you expect to find them if you think they're not even out there??
