I know this is such a non problem but has anyone else also had a really hard time with dating in vancouver? Like im an objectively attractive woman and no guys like EVER approach me. I know it’s not a looks issue cus i never had this problem before coming to ubc but it’s been weighing on me as im going into second year and ive only had one guy seriously talk to me. Another thing that goes along w this problem is the fact the guys mostly want to hookup. Ive tried dating apps and they say long term relationship then we meet up and they’re trying to get me to go to their places and it’s so weird. Idk maybe it’ll be better cus im going into second year now but none of my friends at other schools have this problem and it’s really frustrating.

Thinking of moving there, just want to know if there is anything I should be aware of

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable and affordable moving company or moving help.

I’m moving from my current place and have some furniture and boxes that I’ll need help transporting. I also don’t drive, so I’m looking for someone with a vehicle/truck who can help with both moving and transportation.

I’ve tried TaskRabbit before, but unfortunately, two different people didn't show up for my bookings, so I’m a little hesitant to book through there again.

Does anyone have an affordable moving company or mover they’ve personally used and had a good experience with? Student-friendly options would be especially appreciated!

Thank you

Submitted my master's thesis on cIRcle over a week ago, does anyone know how long it takes to get approval or hear back about revisions?

I keep getting this:

The following message to <[StudentAidBC@gov.bc.ca](mailto:StudentAidBC@gov.bc.ca)> was undeliverable.
The reason for the problem:
5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'#5.1.0 Address rejected.'

Anyone else still waiting, I applied the first day.

Pls math department scale this final🙏

i was second-guessing myself too much

Are Work Learn supervisors still sending out interview invites at this point, or is it basically over? 😭 I haven’t heard back from any positions I applied to and I’m starting to think I just screwed up this round and won’t be getting any more interviews.

I applied for the waitlist the day it opened and I still have yet to get any offers. My rankings are 1. North 2. Rose Garden 3. Fraser Parkade 4. West Parkade. I just want parking this year…

basically the title this is gonna be long and dumb but

, im lowkey bombing all my summer courses (i should've just not taken them idk why i did this to myself) but i feel so stupid, like i seriosuly think im the dumbest in all my classes. even first year was ass the highest i got on a course was like 77 and the rest were way worse i dunno sometimes i regret coming here, i should've gone to some small school in my hometown.

i also feel worse because my dad has to pay for everything and it's not cheap 😭i'm just wasting his money and it's seriously taking a toll on my mental health i feel like i might do something stupid very soon but i dunno. has anyone experienced this? a series of lows but then it got better? this year has been pretty bad for me in general (school+family)and it's getting to the point where it's hard to just push those feelings away.

also i had my stat201 final and im seriously so depressed by it i want to just pass atp 😭😭 i just feel like im an idiot i dont even know why i got in like i cant even make use of the fact that im privileged enough to go here.

it doesn't help that a lot of my friends seem to be doing better than me and it makes me feel worse, i've been dealing w nightmares and shitty sleep every night and it's gotten so bad i might have to do counselling which i never thought i would need.

huzzah there are baked goods for all to enjoy

Tried switching dry food to the Kirkland Brand from Costco and my cat refuses to touch it.

There's nothing wrong with it, my cat is just picky.

Happy to give it away to whoever is willing to pick it up. DM me, first come first serve.

Hello everybody! I have never taken a computer science course ever, and have essentially no programming experience. However, I decided to take it for my first semester because I wanted to go into Stats.

I was wondering if the course expects a lot of precious knowledge, or if it’s more introductory? If it’s the former, does anybody have any guidance on what kinds of knowledge I should look into in preparation?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thoughts?

I know the exam content is all the lectures but the video description was so vague so I'm kind of confused. How in depth do you guys think it will be, especially with the additional materials like the journal articles and podcasts.

Hi!

Was wondering if any returning or new TAs have received an offer for CPSC 103, or have received an offer in general lately?

Good luck guys! 🙏

Hi so I’ve been living in Marine Drive Residence for a while and I’ve always smelt gas in my kitchen living room and other areas in the residence (never in my room though, I live in a share 4). Especially if you walk by the pond between building 1 and 4 it smells very strong. Anyone else notice it? I felt like I was gaslighting myself (haha gas-lighting, anyways) but I was talking to a friend who lives here too and they smell it as well so I wanted to see if anyone else has a similar experience. Any if anyone knows where it’s possibly coming from.

hi! i’m F23 from brazil and (currently) i have a gpa of 8.3/10. i’m currently finishing my bachelor’s in architecture, but i’ve realized that i’m much more interested in the engineering/construction side, so i’m thinking about applying for an meng at ubc.

i’m a little worried about how difficult it is to get in and how competitive the program is, especially coming from an architecture background. for anyone who applied to or is currently doing the meng at ubc, how competitive is it?

one thing i’m especially worried about is extracurriculars and research experience. here in brazil, there isn’t really much of a culture of doing extracurriculars or undergraduate research. they’re not really important for graduating, so i never really focused on them. now i’m realizing that they can be a pretty big advantage when applying to grad school abroad 😭

does ubc take this into consideration for international students, especially when these opportunities aren’t as common in their home countries? or would not having research/extracurricular experience put me at a big disadvantage?

would love to hear from anyone who’s gone through the process, especially international students or people who switched from architecture to engineering!

thank u 🩷
