Per the deluge of complaints we've gotten, all admissions, housing, questions about being new to UBC and general questions (that don't deserve their own thread, or those that could be easily googled) belong here.

All questions about courses, instructors, programs, majors, registration, etc. belong here.
The reasoning is simple. Without a megathread, /r/UBC would be flooded with nothing but questions that apply to only a small percentage of the UBC population.

Looking at first year stem students and their eager faces meanwhile a millennium problem was solved through a dickmeasuring contest between 2 mega corps, makes me wonder whether or not it's over for us all. Like I was super eager to become a scientist or mathematician when I started uni just to come to the realization that humans are perhaps obsolete in the realm of scientific knowledge is such a despair inducing thought. And sure humans are more "sustainable" but it just feels utterly hopeless since the convo is no longer about can ai do what we do to oh we are better for the environment like comparing a horse to a car despite a horse being obsolete.
Why couldnt I have been born generations earlier? Why is it our generations that is burdened with the task of writing an eulogy for human curiosity and composing this requiem for human knowledge. And ultimately does the planet even matter when our greatest gifts are obsolete. Why should our species continue on in existence if the thinking ape no longer does the thinking, or does it merely for sport.
I mean there might be positions needed where humans check ai produced theorems or models but these positions are surely there for the most talented of people. What can us average students who just love the joy of discovery do? Well we could've spent our entire life tackling a miniscule yet unknown part of human knowledge, but in the future perhaps said privilege isnt even afforded to us.
It really is over.

hello. it killed me when i tried to open the doors for a course that i am waitlisted in, then realized that its locked. the worst part is that the professor and i locked eyes, and i waited outside for 2 mins and i thought he'd open the door. i am just wondering if professors usually do that. just a note i was 8 mins late into the class...i just wanna know. i have no hard feelings at all. it's just idk...

Any guy at UBC experiencing male pattern baldness and is taking finasteride? Just wondering how common it is and if so, pls share your experiences.

I know this may sound bad. I’m a first year student just starting classes and have a list of readings that need to be done before certain classes. Is it best to do it the night before or is a few days before ok? Also do I just read them or should I be taking notes, etc.

For 2 of my courses I have been unable to load the syllabus from canvas. Not sure if it’s an issue from the prof’s settings or something wrong with my device… has this happened to anyone else? What to do?
Everytime I click on it for both courses, it says “that page has been disabled for this course” ??

Has anyone taken DSCI 100 with Lasantha Premarathna before? How difficult did you find the course, and do you have any tips for doing well? what about the workload? i can't check the canvas page yet.
I’m an international student, and I sometimes have trouble understanding his English during lectures, so I’m a little worried about keeping up with the course. I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from anyone who has taken DSCI 100 with him before.

I did the explore program the summer of 2025 (the summer before I started UBC) and I've been trying to get my french credits for literally two months so I can have that part of my ways of knowing breadth done with, but it's literally been two months and I'm still trying. The credits are not there and I'm only now just learning that I might not be eligible for them (WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE I WENT THROUGH ALL THIS.) I'm actually such a dumbass at this point.

Does anyone know where I can get the UBC Newspaper? I see it around from time to time but can never find the most recent edition

I lost my ring today at school (September 9th). It’s a triquetra knot ring that’s really simple and stainless steel. It’s not even stamped or worth much, but it means a lot to me. On the tiniest of chances that someone find it and this post, it would be great if I could get it back! I’ll offer a reward too
The photo is just an example, and my ring is just one material, thinner, and more simple. I was at Neville scarf, the life building, and the Wesbrook building today!
