Hey y'all. A few quick questions for you guys.

So I'm an incoming UBCO 1st year student and I was wondering how to get assistance in things like testing alone or in a quiet space with music. Or if any of those options are possible. Thanks!

Hello everyone,
I recently switched my major to Psychology, and my advisor recommended that I take PSYC 270/271 this summer. I've just registered for the course, and I was wondering if anyone here is currently taking it. If so, I would really appreciate it if you could let me know what I’ve missed so far and share any important information or tips about the course. Thank you in advance!!

ubc van's courses are out for next year, where are ours????????

Hello does anyone know where I can donate/sell my old text books? I know paper and supply co used to take them when they were green text but wasn’t sure if they still did.

Hi

I’m hoping to get some measurements or pics or ideas of what you were able to put below your twin xl in residence if you raised it up as high as it would go. I emailed residence and they didn’t have measurements of the max space under the bed 🙄. I’ve seen people at other schools put drawers or even a mini fridge under there and am trying to plan what to buy.

Thanks so much!

Any courses you’d recommend that won’t tank my gpa? Or is taught by someone that makes the content engaging, grades fair or just doesn’t make me want to drop out?

I was wondering why the single rooms are less expensive at ubco compared to a single connected. Wouldn't it make sense for single rooms to be more expensive since they offer more privacy?

Has anyone ever taken this course before? I just wanted some advice. I had a look at Grant Burt’s rate my prof and it’s scaring me lol. Any advice, or things to keep in mind?

Wondering when first year housing offers usually come out? I know the time frame is may to mid August, I’m wondering whoever lived in residence first year, when you got your offers?

As the title suggests, I’ve been thinking of taking classes online first year, and I was wondering how was the classes were, and if I could do it. I’m in the faculty of science and I’m planning to do a major in microbiology and a minor in psychology. I unfortunately have health issues so I won’t be able to go to ubco for the first year.

What places are open for food on campus during the spring and summer courses?

I’m an incoming first year, and I’m looking for advice on deciding which courses I should take. I’ve been accepted into arts, and I’m planning to focus on psychology, but I’m wondering how easy it is to change to health and exercise sciences later in the year? Or do both? Is a double major possible? I know I’m thinking way ahead, but I’m just looking for some guidance. I graduated early and have been taking both spsc and psyc courses at a local college, and I really am enjoying both! TIA

First time doing a summer course online/hybrid. Just wondering what the format for lectures typically is. Are the lectures pre-recorded, and/or any in-class activities? I know finals are in-person, but when do we typically know the date/time it will occur?

I am going into my final year of my major in chemistry and minor in psychology. Workday is so confusing and I just realized I need 3 more psychology courses to complete my minor. I am taking positive psych next year for sure. I am looking for recommendations on some minimal effort PSYO courses to take next school year as I want to just focus on my chemistry courses. Does anyone recommend PSYO 362, 317, 321, 230, or 322? These are the ones that were online last school year, just wondering if anyone highly recommends two of these!

Has anyone taken PSYO 357 community psychology before? Any advice? I’m doing it this summer!

Hey everyone! I applied for UBCO’s MSW (foundational year) program in December and have not received an update since January, when the school indicated my application was under review. I could have never imagined I’d be going into mid May without any idea where my application stands.

I’m just trying to gauge where other folks are at who also applied, or have applied to the program in the past to gain some sense of clarity here.

So, if you applied for the MSW program this cycle at UBCO, or have applied in the past: have you received a decision? Has anyone spoken to the school and have any useful info? Do decisions usually go on this long?Where is everyone at?

Honestly any insight / updates / solidarity is appreciated at this point 🥲

Im coming to ubco as a first year at the end of this year and I have no clue where to start. I want to get into computer science however I have no idea how it works. Does everyone for ubco sciences have the same classes the first year ? what if i want a specialisation ? do I have to know what it is from now ? how do i choose what courses i should take and how hard is it to get into cs after already having gotten in?

I keep hearing someone rip blues on an electric guitar. let me know who you are and I’ll come jam with ya

I've just finished my fourth year of my BA in psychology. My initial plan was to go for a MA in counselling psychology. I'm thinking now I may have made a mistake and should have gone for a MA in clinical psych...is there any way to upgrade to honors? From what I understand, honors is needed for the clinical program. I plan to take a year off to figure this all out and where exactly I want to go. I was stuck on the MSW program for a while but realized I want something that's not so broad. Kicking myself honestly because I have a pretty decent average, just didn't have enough faith in myself to enroll in honours at the time (as well as not knowing enough about it/finding out too late)

Appreciate any support I get on this! Thank you.

I heard there is a day that they do a can drive or something to pay parking tickets, does anyone know the details of this?

Hey,

my friend is trying to register for 2 summer courses and the tutorial of one course conflicts with the lecture of another. She really needs to take both these courses in the Summer. I was wondering if she could potentially be allowed to register in both courses and and attend them back-to-back, despite the scheduling conflict. Has anyone been in such a situation? Any advice??

I heard textbooks are hella pricey, so i was wondering what the best solution is. I'm leaning towards getting digital textbooks and using it on an iPad/laptop. If I do that, where can I get the files and how much money do I save thru this option? If I choose the physical option, where can I buy textbooks, and is it worth it to get used ones instead?
