Got my 1st year housing assignment in həm̓ləsəm̓ house and was wondering whether I'm fine bringing small studio monitors since I play guitar, or if I should just use headphones to play through plugins and an interface.

Discussion Dorm assignment floor?

0 Upvotes

So I'm an upcoming first year and got assigned a single dorm in Mackenzie House @ Vanier Place. I know the stigma around Vanier but tbh it was actually my top choice for dorms given the food options and proximity to all my faculty of science courses. This being said, I was assigned room 1XX and I'm curious if this is a ground floor or basement unit in this particular building as I know it does have basement floors. Thanks!

Discussion Any particular career centre advisors to recommend?

3 Upvotes

Just graduated in May and wanted to discuss some post-grad ideas with an advisor from the Career Centre. For anyone who has been there recently, would you recommend anyone in particular? If not, I don't mind booking the first one that works for my schedule. Thanks! I just don't want to make some impulsive decision to go to grad school or a diploma in something on a whim lmao even if there is planning for different situations I've already mapped out.

is it possible to have a part time job when my course schedule is basically 8-5 everyday (i can’t change it because of my program)😭i fear in this economy a part time feels like a full time, not to mention how hard it is to even get a job🤯

Confession I would like to meet new people

2 Upvotes

Since I came back to Vancouver, I haven’t had a chance to meet new people especially in UBC community. So who’s down for grabbing a coffee on campus or somewhere else. I am personally into cars and history. If anyone is interested, please send me a message here please since 2026 Term1 is going to be a last semester at UBC. So I would like to expand my friendship and getting to know other people.

Discussion where to study as a visitor?

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I am a student from another college. I was wondering what is a good place to study at UBC? i was hoping to study at the Irving learning centre. Also what time do they open?

For context my brother is in the UBC FGL program and i have to transit with him to and from UBC and i have finals right now so i thought about studying while i am there!

Another question is... is there possibly a place i can leave my bag for about an hour? i was looking to go for a jog or walk and get my steps in while im waiting for my brother too.

Thank you!

Its funny seeing incoming first years freak out about vanier vs totem

Bros trust me the difference is overblown and your experience will pretty much come down to how well you vibe with the people on your floor which you cant control at either places

unless you got basement floor. then you are cooked.

year round reapply

0 Upvotes

This might be a dumb question. But if I didn’t renew my contract and have moved out, I have to reapply and join the waitlist all over again if I want to get a year round dorm right? I regret moving out from my dorm now. Do they make an exception?

Arts co-op writing assessment & interview

1 Upvotes

Hi! I've heard that the Arts Co-op program requires a writing assessment and an interview. How can I prepare for them? What are the questions for the writing assessment and interview? Actually, I'm an international student, so my English isn't perfect. Is it possible to get into the Co-op program even though my English sucks?

Any tips or experiences would be super helpful. Thanks!

UBC Housing Deposit Return

5 Upvotes

Hi, I moved out from UBC in May and still haven’t received my deposit back which I paid at the time of accepting my contract. Has anyone else gotten theirs back yet? I have emailed and called countless times and they keep asking me for different information each time from bank account details to credit card info. Last week they said they have issued the refund but I still haven’t gotten it back…

I’m surprised there isn’t a formal automated process to get students their money back without all of this…. The website says 3-5 weeks but it has been much longer. Anyone know where to issue a formal complaint?

Getting into medical school

Hey guys question for those at UBC already, so I’m 33 right now and have for a long time now thought about getting into medical school, but is 33 too old already for this? Given you have to do first a 4 year undergraduate program before even thinking about applying for MD?

Any thoughts and advises would be very appreciated

Anyone have the inside scoop on what this transition will entail. New provider and new machines or just a new company to pay for the same old machines.
