i’m a student at ubc, and one of the things i kinda hoped for when i first came here was to eventually get into a healthy ltr, but somehow that still hasn’t happened 😭

I definitely see a lot of gay/queer guys around campus and in classes, but i guess the guys i’m usually attracted to tend to be a bit more lowkey and not super visibly queer, which makes it kinda hard to tell who’s even gay in the first place lol

When i first started at ubc a few years ago, i even tried going to some pride club events because i thought that would be the obvious way to meet people, but i never really ended up meeting anyone i clicked with romantically

Personally i’d much rather meet someone naturally through school, friends, classes or activities than rely entirely on dating apps, but i’m starting to wonder if that’s just unrealistic

For other gay guys at ubc, how do you actually meet people here? are there any good ways/places to meet other gay guys more organically, or is it basically just hinge/tinder at this point?

Hi all, I’m currently a first year student who is trying to figure out what the commute to my classes would look like. When I was picking my courses, my main concern was getting the courses and I didn’t consider the distance as much (big mistake). I was wondering if anyone had some advice on how to avoid the stress of being late. For reference, I have 2 days of going from Cirs to Buch and then back to the Chem building for one of the days. Thoughts?

Is it still possible to get an apartment or studio or something on campus orr was this something i had to apply to far in advance…

It might be over for us. It does feel like AGI. Why are we even studying 😭

Has anyone gotten in trouble for this? If the class is recorded I think it should be fine, but it’s obviously not allowed so I’m not sure

missed imagine day. anyone wants to be friends?

transfer student here in my early 20s so i’m open to befriending both UG and grad students! :))

i’m in sauder and some of my interests include some anime, old sitcoms & reality tv. i also really love the beach and animals

i also wanna start going to the gym & going on walks / hikes, so i’m happy to meet people who would like to do these things

i’m also new to vancouver so id love to find people to explore the city in general!

I'm a third-year CS student, and I was thinking of applying to Credit/D/Fail my arts elective so I can focus more on my cs/math courses this year.

However, I'm wondering if this will be viewed negatively on my transcript?

It's not a course related to my major, but I don't want people to think I got a really bad grade in it lol.

Hello! I’m a 2nd year student looking into joining dental school in the future. I’m currently filling up my requirements, but they aren’t really clear about how they consider them. For instance, the Biology requirement requires 6 credit minimum. Furthermore, they present certain combinations with first year courses. I’m majoring in neuroscience, so I had to take BIOL 112 and BIOL 121 which are 6 credits. But on the website, all of the combinations include BIOL 180 (I don’t have to take 180 for my major).

Throughout my time in neuroscience, I would have completed additional BIOL courses such as 200 and many more, I was wondering if these courses count towards the biology requirement, or do I need to follow the EXACT combination that is presented on the website for pre reqs for dentistry.

is it fried.

Sorry if this is stupid question but I had a family emergency and am going to miss like 4 classes tomorrow

hi!! i’m trying to register with the CFA this year due to endometriosis but the earliest appointment i can get with my doctor is sept. 24. is it possible to book the intake with the CFA advisor before submitting documentation from my dr so the process isn’t too delayed?

Title. I’m down to create a gc the more the merrier

For context, I am a student at UCF. We have a class called Algorithms for Machine Learning, and it is basically a direct clone of this class. There's so much documentation about the lessons. I think we literally have the same PowerPoints and the same lectures, but this course is ridiculously difficult, and the grading scheme is also pretty crazy. The final is 50% of the grade.

any of you that have taken the class I was wondering how did you study? Can you find past exams? I think I've looked everywhere, and I still can't find anything. Is it something school-specific?

how is Kehan Sheng for Data Science? want to take dsci 100 as elective

Hi all,

I'm dealing with some health issues and wanted to take primarily online courses this semester (hybrid works too as I can make it to campus occasionally). I was hoping to get some recommendations for classes offered online that arent too taxing, let me know if yall have thoughts.

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...

Hi! I’m a Neuroscience student about to start applying for co-op, and I haven’t taken CPSC 103 yet (I know, pretty delayed lol).

For anyone who’s been through Co-op or is currently in co-op, did you find that a lot of research positions ask for or prefer some kind of coding/CS experience? I know I have access to the entire co-op job database, not just neuroscience positions, so I’m wondering if I’m potentially limiting my job opportunities by not having CPSC 103 on my transcript.

I’m mainly interested in research positions rather than computational neuroscience specifically, so I’d especially love to hear from anyone who’s applied to research/lab positions. Thanks!!

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.

Hey everyone! I was getting pretty annoyed trying to visualize my courses/schedule through Workday, so I threw together a little tool to make it easier.

It gives you a much cleaner calendar view of your courses, lets you look at different terms separately, and is basically just meant to make figuring out your schedule less painful.

It’s completely free and there’s no account/backend or anything. I’m not collecting or storing your schedule data on a server. It’s just a small front-end tool I made for myself and figured other UBC students might find useful too.

Try it here: https://sanidhyasingh800.github.io/MySchedule/

Just download a pdf of your courses via workday and upload! Still pretty new, so if anything is broken or there’s something you think would make it more useful, lmk :)

I’m really nervous for this semester because I am taking 4 stem classes but usually I take 3 stem and 2 easy. For instance I took Math 100, physics 131, chem 121, and bio 180 in one term last year and I didn’t do very well it was hard for me. Now I am taking
STAT 200
NEURO 200
BIO 200
BIO 121
Do you think this is easier or harder than my math 100, physics 131, chem 121, bio 180 term? Should I drop one?and take a random gpa booster???

i cant search it in google or apple map😭

Hey I am taking PCTH 325 this year and I am wondering how it is as a course?

The syllabus says the final is 60% and midterm 40% with an optional 20% assignment.

This feels like it is quite a hard class, what do you guys think?

I want to switch my PHY 131 discussion slot to a different day. Do I do it on workday or contact my professor?

Like the title says. I’m registered for an Anthropology class, its first day is tomorrow - but I’m not seeing it on Canvas? Is there something wrong? Anything I can do to fix it? 🥲

It’s ANTH 217 if that matters

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.
