The UBC Reddit has saved me many headaches. From deciding which first year housing was best to what courses I should take to fill my schedule, it has many many uses.
There's also a pinned megathread which should answer many questions you might have regarding any topic at all! (You can also ask questions to anyone in our club as well :) )
You can honestly just post memes or rant if you feel like it. There's for sure someone who can help you or understands your issues.
This is for when you're deciding what courses you want to take. In my personal opinion some can honestly make or break the course depending on how they teach.
You can search up your professor's name and see what comments people have about them, how hard they grade, whether you need a textbook, and even more!
UBC Class of 2025 Groups
There are many facebook, instagram, or even discord groups and servers that can help you get settled. It's a great way to make friends and just get yourself out there! I've made so many friends through these groups that I still talk to even at the end of my first year!
UBC Marketplace Facebook
This facebook group is great for whenever you want to buy or sell anything. Most of the stuff is usually second hand but it's definitely a lot cheaper than buying everything from amazon or in stores.
Just make sure you don't get scammed!!!!
UBC Thai Aiyara ;)
This is honestly self promo but to be completely honest, we have a great community in our club! You can ask us any questions or just make friends. We're a big family so don't be shy and I'm sure there's someone who can help you with anything you have :)
