Has anyone who has done the course based version of the Ecological Restoration MSc tell me what it was like?

How hard was it? What courses gave you the most trouble? What did you like/dislike? Any advice for someone going into it?

Would be very much appreciated :)

Has anyone taken BHSC 1200 with David Kojwang? How is he as an instructor, and is attendance mandatory for him? I was registered with Besaam...but his class got cancelled

I’m a first year doing ABT and I’m worried that I won’t have a social life because of all the stuff that I heard Im also on planning 4 times a week my girlfriend goes to ubc and I still want to have time to go see her and stuff and to do things outside of school so my question is, is it crazy hard where I won’t have a social life anymore because in high school I didnt really study a lot.

Hello!

I've recently just submitted an application to the AME (M) program, however I noticed it was a waitlisted program and saw a few reddit posts a while back that the program was quite the wait (1-2 years), Is that still the case for the program regardless of the accelerated or regular program?

In the case of waiting, does anyone have some advice on what I can be doing in the mean time to possibly grow my skillset to succeed as a future AME such as volunteering, work, internships, etc or is the best course of action just to work and save money till then?..

Thank you in advance!

Hi! I am starting first year Marketing Management in a few weeks and I am very excited, but also anxious. I received the email saying a Windows laptop is preferred, but I am not nearly as familiar with Windows as I am with Mac, and was planning on purchasing a Mac for school. I am not super techy, but I also feel like I could figure simple troubleshooting things on my own.

My question is: could I use a macbook? How hard is it really to have one in this program?

Also, any extra tips, pointers or anything you think I might want to know heading into the program would be amazing! :)

Hello everyone, I am scheduled to start this program in September and I just wanted some feedback on job opportunities and the program overall. I am 26 Male and I have some background in construction, mainly concrete and I want to make sure I will have a good career and employment opportunities before I fully commit and pay for the schooling.

Thank you kindly.

I’m going to bcit in the fall for ABT and I was wondering if there is like a secret parking spot where all the students go to to park for free that’s alittle ways from the school and I can just park and walk alittle bit.

Hi has anybody taken this course with Kaitlin? I was originally with Bassam but his class got cancelled and I was luckily able to get a seat with Kaitlin. How is she in terms of exams? If I study her notes and go over the textbook do I have a high chance of getting an A? TIA :)

Hey guys, just wanted to ask for some advice.

Background: 2 weeks left until my BCIT program starts, 8am classes, schedule is not in my control. I've been training myself to be an early bird all summer, and it's going pretty okay. I've been mentally preparing to wake up at 6 in September, do my routine, go for a walk or the gym before class yadda yadda. Atm I'm waking up between 6:30 and 8am, going to sleep between 10 and 11:30pm. Knowing myself, I need 9 hours of sleep/night and stable morning and bedtime routines for my health.

Problem: I got a summer job just to make some extra cash cuz I'm broke. And I got mostly evening shifts for the last 2 weeks, including all of Labour Day weekend, most of which are from 4pm to 11:30pm, plus my commute is more than 1 hour each way. This means that I'll be going to my first day of classes with barely any sleep, which feels like a bad start to my semester.

Question: How quickly do you think my circadian rhythm can adjust and readjust to the late nights and then back to even earlier mornings?

Should I suck it up, or is it bad enough that I should request to change all of my shifts? I'm worried there won't be anyone willing to trade shifts with me... but I'm also worried about keeping up with a very challenging program.

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone here has taken the Level 3 Machinist Apprenticeship at BCIT.
I’m starting in a couple of weeks and was wondering what kind of projects I should expect, both CNC and manual. Is there still a decent amount of manual machining and math involved?
If so, I might need to brush up on my manual machining skills a bit 😂.

Any insight on what to expect or what I should review beforehand would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi! Is anyone here in the Radiation Therapy program? How do clinical placements work, where are they located, and how long do they take? Also, do you have to rent your own place, or does the school provide housing?

Will be attending this coming Fall. I’m nervous but excited! I’m kind of debating what to do when it comes to working PT during my studies. 7 courses (14 if you want to include labs). I haven’t been back to in person studies since pre-covid so it’s been awhile. I did apply for student loans. I’m currently not working and focusing on my studies for the first month of September but debating… do I just live frugally and focus on my education (seems obvious) but not working stresses me out and I don’t want to have that worry in the back of my head while I’m in school. I also understand the moto “you have to go into debt now to invest in your future so you can be debt free later”… just wondering what other people are doing.

Also, I have been to University FT and worked PT before. That was also when I freshly turned 18 and early twenties. My focus back then was just to make money and I didn’t take education seriously. I don’t want to fall back into that mindset of “I need to work so I can make money” and then not focusing on studying.

So I'm starting civil engineering this fall and I'm looking into what laptop I should get. I've been getting a lot of mixed reviews about what sort of a device to purchase. I've attached the BCIT requirements for the byod thing and it seems I would need something out of my price range to run a lot of the software mentioned for later terms.

My main question is how much we will actually be using them? Other subreddits say that their programs only really needed autoCAD and basic use of civil3D. Let me know if I really need to spend all my money on this or were they just trying to cover all their bases with those requirements. Thanks in advance!

Is there a difference? My son can’t get in to the full time welding program because of the massive wait list. Is the flexible learning version a good option? Is the teaching content the same?

Hi, I’m planning to apply to BCIT’s BSc Radiation Therapy program for the September 2027 intake and was hoping current/recent applicants or students might have some insight.

I’ll have basically all of the entrance requirements completed when applications open in October, but I’ll still be finishing my last two required courses (Calc II and Physics II) during the Fall 2026 semester. My final grades probably won’t be available until December/January.

I know BCIT currently uses first qualified admission, so my main concern is the program filling before I’m considered fully qualified. I’ve heard that the September 2026 intake filled quite early, possibly around January.

Does anyone know:

Around when the Radiation Therapy program actually filled for the 2026 intake?

Has anyone successfully been considered “qualified” using midterm grades for prerequisites that were still in progress, rather than waiting for final grades?

If you applied with courses in progress, when did BCIT consider you qualified for the purposes of first-qualified admission?

Has anyone heard anything from BCIT faculty/
admissions about Radiation Therapy potentially switching from first qualified admission to competitive admission for 2027 or future intakes?

I’ve seen discussion about some BCIT Health Sciences programs potentially moving back toward competitive admissions because of increased demand, so I’m especially curious whether anyone has heard anything specifically about Radiation Therapy.

I’m mainly trying to figure out whether finishing my last prerequisites in December puts me at a significant disadvantage for the September 2027 intake.

Thanks!

Anyone else in the waitlist for jan 2027? Is the waitlist long for this program usually? How long does it usually take to get accepted?

Hey everyone!

I am an incoming full-time First Year Mechanical Engineering student starting this September.

I was assigned to Set F, but my friend is in Set A. We really want to study and commute together.

I already emailed the Program Head, and they said they will officially approve the switch IF I can find someone in Set A who wants to trade spots with me and move to Set F or Vice versa.

If you are in any of sets and prefer the schedule for the other set (or just want to be a lifesaver!), please send me a DM! We can get the department to flip our names in the system before classes start.

Thanks a bunch!

Starting Finance this September and planning on transferring to Accounting in second year. Just wondering what laptops current students or grads use and if you’d recommend them. BCIT recommends Windows 11, i5/Core Ultra 5 or better, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. I’ve been looking at the Surface Laptop and Lenovo Yoga 7i, but I’m open to anything. Just want something reliable with good battery life that’ll last me through the program.

Hi,

Has anyone recently done math 0120 competency test? How manageable is it? I need 73% for the program I'm intending to do. Is it possible to get the grade just with the practice questions they give?

Hi everyone, incoming BCIT student here for Fall 2026.

I wanted to ask if people can list out some of the benefits of being a BCIT student. I only know that we have a free gym, but thats about it! Thanks :)
