NOT a UBC student but this came up on my feed for some reason. Not going to critique the school, but need to clarify some things: UBC IS NOT the "top ranked" University in Canada. Not academically at least. Maybe 3rd at best (which isn't bad, but not #1). Trudeau attending UBC is not a compliment towards the school.
I just had my legal name change due to family related reasons. It took a long time overall but the time it takes to get to UBC to legally change your name should only be 2 to 3 months, maybe 4. You have to start provincially and go to BC services (the closest one that deals with name change is in Maple Ridge).
There are good things about UBC too though, like how many bursaries they have for students, how many courses/programs are offered, the reputation, the campus, etc. UBC has its pros and cons, but overall I think "eh" is a pretty accurate representation of my feelings also.
175 reviews (31%) Rating 2 out of 5. Poor. 41 reviews (7%) Rating 1 out of 5. Terrible. 24 reviews (4%) Despite not having attended the school, I have learned things from a variety of sources. I like the school's stellar academic standing as well as the variety of extracurricular offerings that encourage student involvement.
- Campus. This is especially true when the seasons change. During the fall, campus is covered with red and orange leaves, while in the spring the trees sprout cherry blossoms.
- Wreck Beach. UBC has it’s very own beach. Although the 500 wooden steps seem daunting, the view is very much worth your while, especially at sunset. But beware, you may or may not see nudity.
- Activities. UBC is close in proximity to just about any activity. If you ever tire of Wreck beach (unlikely) Vancouver has English Bay and Spanish Banks to choose from.
- Campus Is A Constant Filming Location. Students aren’t the only ones who appreciate the scenery at UBC. Past movies that were on campus include Age of Adaline, She’s the Man, 50 Shades of Grey, Tomorrowland, and X-men Origins: Wolverine.
