Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
Worked here for 2 years as a programmer at the Faculty of Medicine. Toxic work environment. I was unwell for a long time, and my manager Anthony R. said that it was just an excuse for my "disruptive" behaviour, despite many notes from my doctor and specialist. He and my other manager Bryce R. showed no compassion for my health concern. Do not work here.

Mostly good memories I guess. Heavily commercialized. But I still feel strong academic vibe here.
Vibrant community, and live up to its status as a living lab for sustainability.

The loveliest campus! Beautiful landscape and nice buildings. Views to the Pacific Ocean and close to the Pacific Spirit Park. A little piece of heaven on Musqueam land that we are grateful for.

Certainly not worth the tuition fees they make you pay here (the non opt outs), the extra non course costs total into costing more than the actual course you are paying for, they keep building new facilities but they are all for recreation...when they should be focusing on educational buildings...

Giant heartless instutinstution, this place is a business, bottom line. Massive, impersonal and unforgiving. Don't you want teachers who know your name and care about you? Then DONT enroll here!

First off, as a student of UBC for four years now, I have grown to really love and embrace this school. The biggest perks of UBC are its beautiful campus, world-renowned programs, and its endless construction

Large-size university. Overcrowded classrooms for select courses. Less intimate campus than smaller schools such as UVic. Expensive on-campus diners and parking.

Aside from being a great educational institution, it is a beautiful university and great spots for photography including some museums and gardens.
