University of British Columbia Student Guide Part One
I graduated from the University of Waterloo and reflecting back, it was a time period where I was stressed, confused, and happy. All the academic information online can be so overwhelming! I decided to create the University of British Columbia Student Guide to capture the great resources at UBC.
My only regret is discovering many student services after I graduated. There are many clubs and academic support available at your university. Keep in mind, many of these services will not be free once you graduate.
Therefore, I made it my goal to create valuable content to help students. All in all, I truly hope you will refer to it throughout your undergraduate years, to help you be successful in your endeavours. There will be a part two, so stay tuned!
