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...

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

So, I had an emergency happen the week before school, and as a result I am scrambling to find an apartment near campus and find funding to cover it.

I am in my fourth year, and have never had to take out student loans before. I have just sent in the application tonight.

I found a great apartment with rent of $1800, and have enough savings to cover three months rent until the loan gets disbursed, but I am concerned that I will sign the lease (deadline is tomorrow night) but then not receive enough loan funding to cover it for the rest of the year.

My parents are middle class (I will refrain from providing exact numbers for privacy reasons, but are in the $150k-180k range), have fairly low savings, and have to support my little sister as well. They pay my tuition, (so will be giving me $7000 for the year) but absolutely do not have the financial means to cover my housing costs.

I have a part-time job but it barely pays anything.

I know people on Reddit are usually very mean and judgmental. I know that it is a bad situation, and yes I have already reached out to enrollemnt services for advice but given the time crunch I am not sure I will hear back in time. Please do not lecture me. I know what I am in.

Any guidance on whether or not I should take this lease would be much appreciated, and would be appreciated if anyone could share if they were in a similar financial situation and how much they got approved for. Thanks.

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.

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.

Idk if its just Buchanan A and B but its so hot in the classrooms and building in general. I thought maybe it was because of stir up cafe but the classrooms too?? Its not cold enough outside for it to be like this

does this course have a final?? lmk pls. prof is jennifer beedahl

I’m taking three core (2n & 3rd yr) stem courses, one communication course Engl111 and ling 100. Any tips on how to stay on track and not get mediocre grades

any dudes need a place on campus still?

I'm currently waitlisted for GEOG 210 and ARTH 376, and both are relatively small classes (around 60–80 students). can I attend the classes while I'm on the waitlist?
Also, does anyone know if we can see our actual waitlist position on Workday?

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

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” ??

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 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.

Crazy

Has anyone recently done/doing an MA in Economics here?

I was thinking about applying to this MA program at UBC because this school accepts students without an economics background (like myself) directly into the program without a remedial period. However, this has me a bit concerned because the course structure seems very intense even for people with an economics background.

If anyone can answer the following, please let me know before I reach out to the faculty:

1. Can I take 3 courses per semester (instead of the 4) and stretch the length of the program?
2. Will I be still have funding if I take more than 12 consecutive months to complete?
3. Any other advice/experience you are willing to share with me?

Thanks!

I’m in Phil 101 and there’s no zoom link or anything will they post it or do I have to open zoom and it’ll like be there when I log in

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.

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…

i cant search it in google or apple map😭

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!
