I chose this college as it had a Global ranking (one of the top 50 schools worldwide), Business program’s excellent reputation among other business programs in Canada, and the beautiful campus. My overall experience at UBC was insightful, eye-opening, and rewarding. The people I met and the knowledge I gained from learning at one of the best universities in Canada will be beneficial for my career down the line.
