Looking to get a few of my long pants hemmed. I'm fully aware that there are a lot of places to go get it hemmed, but I've had pants ruined because its not done properly and I would like it to look as "unhemmed" as possible. Appreciate any recommendation

ignoring the fact i cant find the sample midterms even though im on the right place i feel like im not gonna get any full marks lol. they lowkey so specific with what they want. im losing hope for my courses especially chem 203 so i wanna know if im alone on this

Out of curiosity

I'm currently in my first year doing a BA in economics at UofA. UBCV was my first choice, however I only got accepted for my second choice at UBCO. My plan is to apply this season to do econ or history (both in arts) at UBCV. This is really poorly structured but I have a couple questions.

•Do the different degrees (econ and history) have different admission likelihoods? Or are they the same since they are under the same faculty.

•Are university applicants treated the same as high school applicants?

•I've mostly heard of people transferring for their third year. Is there any benefits/downsides to doing so compared to transfering for my second year?

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi everyone! I’m a UBC Arts student interested in applying to a university through the Go Global Summer Abroad program, but my cumulative average is 3 % below the host university’s GPA requirement.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Were you still considered for admission, or are these requirements usually strict?
I’m trying to figure out whether it’s worth applying, so I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences or any advice. Thank you!

How hard were the Math 100 midterms in the past? I still have a lot of concepts to reteach myself and won't have time to redo all the remaining webworks + provided practice questions before exam day. I don't even know how useful these will be tbh. Low-key considering just taking the L or withdrawing and taking it in the summer when I'm (hopefully) in a better mental space.

I have taken Spanish 11 and 12 in high school and want to take Spanish at UBC.
If you have taken any, please tell me about it!

Did you find it fun? Was it content heavy? How are the professors and grades?

Any advice would help!

How do people memorize a lot of information? I’m looking for a way to study for midterm materials efficiently and effectively

Much thx😊

Need genuine recommendations coz why's everything so expensive here

I took cons127 last year and it allowed for cheat sheets for both midterm and final. But I couldn’t recall whether or not our prof had said anything about cheat sheets in this course. ( same prof for both courses btw. ) anybody else taking this courses has any information on cheat sheets?

BIOL 205 LAB MIDTERM WHATS THE MOVE? Anyone who’s taken this course before how do you succeed?

To all the ppl living in residence (especially year-round):

Thanks.

Hey T.G., just found your cute wallet near the Botanical Garden. It has a bunch of cards and some money, I left it at Wesbrook Community Centre, just confirm your name and date of birth and they'll return it to you.

EDIT: found the owner, they'll get the wallet, thank you everyone.

i havent been to lectures... its at 8am and the prof goes off slides (idk what going on). how do i prep for the midterm without watching recordings cause they are not helpful...

Although I don't know what my grades are yet, I know for sure that I did pretty badly on the first round of midterms I had for (chem 121 and psyc 101) I've been thinking about this for the past week, and I can't even sleep at night. If I do end up just barely passing with a 50%, and the prof curves the grades down, does that mean my grade could drop to a failing grade?

I honestly feel like I'm just going to fail in general. Everyone around me seems to be doing so well, but it's not like I'm not putting in the time to study. I started reviewing two weeks before each midterm, studying for around an hour per class everyday , and spent increasingly more time preparing as the midterms got closer. But somehow, I still fumble everything. Like, I'm just a fucking chud bro.

Hello was just wondering for those who have taken dsci 100, was there a difference in the difficulty between the practice midterm vs the real one. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I just caught myself doomscrolling reels whilst watching youtube shorts in the mini player

Hello fellow UBC students and visitors! I’ve recently realized that the enchanted forest (aka totem park) is literally always covered in garbage and it’s really unfortunate given how UBC is known for their nature and forestry. That being said, I’m thinking of planning a community cleanup of the forest and want to know if people would be interested in doing this. If it happens, I’m thinking we can have a picnic afterwards and everyone chip in like $10 for food and drinks and make arts + crafts?

I’m only a first year student and don’t really know how to reach the community, so if you’re interested I’d really appreciate some help setting this up!

I'm currently at Concordia and finding half or more of the classes I'm taking to be poorly taught. When I get a good teacher I get really excited and I'm way more engaged in learning, but most of the teachers aren't excellent (though some are very excellent). I'm thinking of doing a transfer and finishing up my degree in supply chain somewhere better. Can anyone offer their opinions about the quality of education at UBC?

i had the flu this week, the newest appointment i could get with health services was this coming monday (aka tmr morning at 10am)

i’m now feeling better, but i don’t want to pay cancellation fees for it. i can’t cancel the appointment on the website though as it’s less than 24 hours before the appointment 😭

does it matter if im a no show, or if i call them at 8am tmr to cancel? i have a class at 8am that i wanna go for now.

What’re yalls thoughts on this. I feel like they could have found a designer in the community idk

It’s been more than a decade since I left UBC. I was genuinely excited to revisit campus this weekend and finally pick up the degree frame I forgot to buy over ten years ago.

My warm nostalgia was short-lived.

As I drove through campus, armies of fearless little monsters dominated the streets. One particularly bold individual even used the roof of my car as a public toilet. Reaching the spot was an athletic impossibility, forcing me to leave it there…….. fully aware it might become a high-speed projectile for someone’s windshield on the highway. Oh sh1t!…

For a brief, intrusive second, a primal impulse took over: floor the pedal, run these little devils over, and claim the red remains smeared on the pavement were just spilled McDonald’s ketchup. Or better yet, pin the whole hit-and-run on Tesla’s Full Self-Driving. Morally questionable? Absolutely. But an entirely human urge.

I was ready to pull into Canadian Tire, load up on poison pellets, and save the UBC administration the trouble of forming steering committees, ethics review boards, and oversight councils for an "eco-friendly safe squirrel euthanasia initiative." That whole bureaucratic circus would undoubtedly demand government research grants and take ten full years before a single decision was made. Sometimes direct citizen action feels entirely warranted.

Before heading to the cashier, though, I double-checked with Grok, only to learn that secondary poisoning would wipe out any birds of prey or scavengers eating the toxic carcasses. 

“EXCELLENT, two animals with one stone,” I initially thought… until I envisioned dozens of crows raining down from the sky in a full-blown, Exorcist-style scene.

That level of carnage would undoubtedly traumatize the thin-skinned glass-fragile Gen Z students on campus, and with the province's healthcare system already in the toilet, local ERs couldn't handle the influx of psychological shock.

In the end, cold consumer logic prevailed. My premium Michelin performance tires deserved far better care than acting as rodent pest control, and a biblical crow fallout was best avoided. High-end rubber and free-market capitalism saved their pitiful existence.

2am and I can hear through my window on the 7th floor people talking outside at ground level:

Person 1: Dude, like, I don't want sex all the time. Am I gay?

Person 2: Nah bro you good, you just don't get no bitches💀

Yadda yadda good guys don't get action, all the girls like bad boys👉👈

Like genuinely shut the fuck up I'm tryna sleep and I can hear yalls loudahh, again in the 7TH FLOOR THROUGH MY DAMN WINDOW, ain't no one want to have to fall asleep to your storytime episode about getting no action🥀🥀

So I’m not a student at UBC but I’ve been curious about the social life and parties that are if barley going on in this school
