UBC Campus Tour || University of British Columbia Vancouver

Hi friends! I filmed this UBC campus tour back in February during reading break. I know a lot of you are probably not able to have an in person campus tour (especially right now!), and I really hope that this is helpful to you! The University of British Columbia campus is really big so I wasn’t able to show you all of it but I tried to show you most of the main areas. This took so so long to film and edit, so please hit the like button if you enjoyed it!

You are are so lucky you have no idea! When my daughter was UBC Van accepted Applied Science and Engineering UBC Van campus I thought I will have a moment on heaven! Year (sure years) later I still feel the same way!! Congratulations on you achievement as this school to graduate is a life time ticket! We (me and my daughter) are successful and not rich!

I just want to say thank you for this video. I've been sick for almost 7 years, so my university experience has been on hold. It looks like I've recovered enough to maybe go to UBC next September and I've been chatting with the advisor. But it's been so difficult to keep my chin up and be excited. This video made me feel excited again for the first time in a long while. I know this seems like something small or silly, but it means everything to me to be able to feel like that again. Thank you so much

[@lina.lecompte]

This comment warmed my heart so much. Thank you for taking the time to write it and let me know. It doesn't seem silly to me at all, I'm so incredibly happy this video was able to do that for you! Sometimes as a KZbinr I forget that real people watch my videos since so much of what I see are just "numbers" (I hope that makes some sense to you), so getting comments like this one make my day.

[@vanshika1745]

It's very fascinating for me to see your current-day depiction of the campus, Lina.. nice work (god I was from yr 2000, sshh we're gonna scare some peoples! since we only used cellphones to talk and maybe text.. . we had long lineup queues in libraries just to use email terminals- you'd be lucky if you ran into a newer cpu with Netscape navigator

I love your vids!! This is how a university tour should be lmao! People just show the buildings and end it!! I love this

[@lina.lecompte]

honestly it's soooo much more time consuming than you would think! So I can definitely see why people just show the buildings and not go inside hahaha, but yess I remember I wish there was this kind of tour when I was first looking into what university to go to!

[@mig3598]

Of course this vid gets recommended to me when I would usually be heading back to UBC but won’t because of online classes. Im beginning my final year and as I’m seeing these buildings that had become apart of my everyday these past couple years, all of sudden I realize how much I’m going to miss this campus. Thanks for the vid

[@lina.lecompte]

I'm so sorry :( I can't even imagine having my senior year online. Hopefully by some miracle term 2 is actually on campus. wish you the best of luck! thanks for watching!

Year 1999 grad of UBC Commerce (Sauder). I've been to a lots of different colleges/universities around the world after my graduation for work related projects. There are lots of good institutions such as Ivy Leagues, ones in Europe and Asia , however, UBC is by far the best post-secondary experience one can ever have...(BTW, 4 years in UBC will go super fast...time flies...its been over 20 years wow).

Jeerd Ace they are both really well regarded! I know that Sauder was ranked higher by McCleans this year if that means anything to you.
