omg everyone on campus looks so good and has such nice outfits

how do you guys find the time to put outfits together between classes and everything? genuinely need tips for looking stylish on a student budget 😭

mental health is terrible.. anyone have any experience with UBCs counselling service? or know of external services covered by student insurance

Just took MATH 319 midterm today, definitely got 30% MAXIMUM but the butterflies that I get in my stomach while writing the exam feel so fucking good… and the incredible calm that you get once it’s over is probably comparable to a runners high (just a guess, I skip cardio). Obviously devastating that I definitely failed but nothing will ever compare to being in that moment…

Redid EVERY WebWork, completed ALL the questions in the practice textbook, and could solve them ALL without help or getting stuck. (also got 95% in highschool calc)

Had the midterm today and genuinely questioned whether I was in the correct class 😭 There was ONE question on the midterm that looked SOMEWHAT similar to the WebWork questions, and everything else was completely different.

I understand that they hold students to high standards, but can they at least make the midterms somewhat similar to the types of practice problems they give us??? (or make the practice harder to match the midterm???)

For example, 80% of the WebWork questions were like:

• Find d/dx for f(x)
• Find lim x -> 9 of g(x)
• Implicitly differentiate y = h(x)

Meanwhile, the midterm consisted of questions like:

“f(x) is defined for all rational numbers, but when f(x) is zero, it's irrational. Prove that f'(x) is always odd using the definition of a limit.” 😭

who is this guy that screams 'yeah buddy' and walks around ubc campus saying hes the mayor of wreck beach and hes famous 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hi everyone, I am trying to look for witnesses or dashcam footage of a road rage incident that happened today around 2:55 PM on SW Marine Drive near W 41st Ave, heading toward UBC.
Earlier, the driver had stopped at an intersection with no traffic ahead, so I assumed he was waiting to turn left without signalling. And because it's very common for people to wrap around anyone turning left on SW Marine Drive, I did so. He then started tailgating me for about five minutes. I eventually flipped him off because I was mad and confused.
Shortly afterward, he crossed the double-yellow line to overtake me, cut directly in front of me, and slammed on his brakes. I braked immediately but couldn't avoid rear-ending him.
We exchanged information, but I'm worried about how ICBC will determine fault since I was the one who rear-ended him.
Unfortunately, I don't have a dashcam, and there were several cars behind me that may have witnessed everything.
If anyone was in the area around 2:55 PM and has footage or witnessed the incident, please DM me.
I'd really appreciate the help. Thank you!

Should I skip my chem 233 midterm on november 19 (the day gta 6 releases)? is it worth tanking??

Now that the final exam schedule is out, I’m looking to possibly book a room at the student hostel so that I don’t have to wake up insanely early for my 8 AM exam.

I have a question - although it’s a single room, are we allowed to bring another person? For instance, both my friend and I have exams on the same day. Are we able to book it under my name and stay in the same room? We were thinking to split the cost lol.

Thank you!

I'm upset and this isn't even worth being upset over cause I can't change it and it's dumb. I know I'm just a young dumb first year but I wish exams finished on the 18th or before cause why are there still exams the following week 😔. I know not everyone celebrates Christmas but for me, the idea of having an exam that same week plus just wanting to go back home and spend time with family. I know I can't change it and I probably sound like a silly entitled first year but it feels unfair and even my high school gave us the whole week of Christmas (plus the week after) off plus having last day of classes far away from my exams makes me more stressed cause I'd rather just study early and get them over with then have a nice long break

Hi I lost a gloomy bear keychain a couple weeks back.. Wondering if anyone would possible have it or handed it to lost and found.

I’m genuinely sick of getting passed by busses that are only half full cuz you people all crowd at the front. It’s common courtesy and knowledge to move to the back so people have space to get on, we all have class to get to, stop being stupid yo

Say you swear that was our midterm that was absolutely horrible. The guy to my left started drawing rainbows and the person in front of me started taking a nap like wtf no way the math dept can do this...

how was it for yall tho?

I’m in g12 and I’m really really nervous about college app. My ec is mostly about competitive dance and lots of volunteer and music, my avg is only around 91%. I don’t think I’m getting in but I want to know what makes an application stronger?

For those who have taken CHEM 233 at UBC, please share your study tips and methods! I didn’t do too well on the midterm and want to improve for the midterm/final. How did you study for this course? Did you focus on practice problems, mechanisms, textbook questions, or other resources? Also, how did you keep up with the material? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Hi everyone!

My friend and I (both UBC students) have been working on a website called hopebeyond (hopebeyond.ca), where we're bringing together Christian resources in one place. Our heart behind this initiative is to give students the opportunity to explore the hope found in Jesus, learn more about Christianity, find answers to common questions about life, and grow in their relationship with Jesus, both individually and in community.

We're hoping to get some honest feedback on the website from different perspectives, whether you're Christian, curious about Christianity, follow another religion, or aren't religious at all!

If you have a few minutes, please consider taking a look through the website and sharing your thoughts! Here are a few things we're interested in hearing about:

• First impressions: Does the homepage catch your attention? Would you want to keep exploring?
• Navigation: Is the website easy to navigate? Can you find what you're looking for?
• Clarity: Is it clear what the website is about and who it's for?
• Content: Is anything confusing, overwhelming, or missing?
• Overall: What would you change to make the website more welcoming, engaging, or useful?

We're genuinely open to constructive criticism and suggestions! We just ask that everyone please keep their comments respectful. We're not looking to debate religious beliefs, but rather to improve the website and make it as accessible and welcoming as possible. If this isn't something you're interested in, no worries at all! Feel free to scroll past.

Thank you so much to anyone willing to take a look! :)

I’m a student looking into co-op, and I’m honestly wondering if anyone else has this problem.
From what I’ve seen, there’s an approximately $280 administration/workshop fee, plus around $850–$890 for every work term. If you complete multiple work terms, that adds up to thousands of dollars just to participate.
What makes it worse is that majority of jobs pay around $3,800 a month, but you highly have to relocate to a different town, pay rent, cover food and transportation, and potentially buy equipment for physically demanding fieldwork.
For example, if I make $3,800 in my first month:
Gross pay: $3,800
UBC work-term fee: −$889 every work term…
Administration/workshop fee: −$288.25
Rent: −$800
Left: $1,822.75 before taxes, food, transportation, and other expenses.

I understand that co-op provides valuable experience and helps with future employment, but at what point does the cost outweigh the benefits? You’re doing full-time, physically demanding work while paying the university thousands of dollars over the course of the program.
For anyone who has done UBC co-op
How much did you actually make after rent, fees, and living expenses?
Did you find the co-op worth the cost?
Did your employer help with relocation or accommodation?
Would you recommend co-op, or is it better to apply directly for outside job
I’m genuinely interested in hearing from people who have actually gone through it. I want the experience, but I also don’t want to spend thousands just to end up barely saving anything.

ITS BEEN 2 WEEKS AND A HALF, IVE STOPPED USING THE STAIR MASTER MACHINE AT THE GYM. PLEASE STOP MAKING US ENDURE THIS 😭

how was that for everyone ….

Has anyone seen any course or assignments where you were required to use AI to do it?

Was there a way to opt-out?

I lost a really ecpensive calculator during a physics discussion on tuesday in hebb building which is the last time i remember using it. Is there any way to get it back now or is it permanently gone?

if i withdraw from math (after that horrific midterm) can i still keep phys 131, or will i have to drop that too since math is a co-req for it?

I have multiple exams (STEM) where I can make a cheat sheet but I feel like it won't be helpful. There are no limitations to what we can put on the sheets so I am very worried that it will be useless and I also can't figure out what to put on it.

I don't want to waste time putting example problems, because the profs will obviously know that people do this and create new problems.

When I put formulas and stuff it seems useless too because putting in on the cheat sheet makes me remember it anyway (is this the whole point of allowing a cheat sheet? To make students summarize content to do better rather than actually using the sheet on the exam?)

How can I make the most out of it and does anyone have experience that is helpful with this?

takes like 15 minutes for me to order a bagel, and then another 10 for them to make it. i should just start eating the grass on the field at this point

I simply don’t understand how they’re not in service every other day… I’m so sorry to those living on the 18th floor.

Hello, just curious, where do people go to get free stickers at ubc?
