UBC Student Guide Part Two
I graduated from the University of Waterloo and it’s my goal to simplify all the academic information online. There are valuable UBC student services readily available and I want to ensure you have the resources to be successful during your academic year.
You can also find the University of British Columbia Student Guide Part One here. The first guide has information on free food, cheap textbook alternatives, study resources and ways to get involved in the community.
