What Students Say
Likes
- The beautiful campus, the people, opportunities, and the unique college experience. UBC was a very fast-forward institution that cared and prepared their students for a bright future.
Dislikes
- The tuition fee is exceedingly too expensive for international students, it’s impossible to live on campus due to the high cost of living and expensive rent.
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.
Course Curriculum
The course curriculum and academics were challenging but provided accurate insights into the professional world, exposing us to lots of opportunities for professional and academic growth.
Faculty
Diverse faculty and students, there are about maybe around 1000 students at Sauder and everyone is approachable and well-versed with the business world depending on the different industries.
Campus Life
Lots of opportunities to connect with clubs and organizations of different interests, students at Sauder are extroverted, making it a faculty that is relatively easy to grow connections and make friends. UBC as a whole has hundreds of clubs that accommodate the interests of thousands of students and the campus is very well equipped in providing numerous facilities, libraries, and places for recreation.
Placement
I don’t think I have enough information for this or I’m unaware of this so I don’t think I have the best answer.
