Campus Life

My college has two campuses, and all major faculties are available. There are a lot of clubs on campus for example, I am a part of the squash club and Model UN club. There are a lot of extracurricular activities taking place throughout the year.

Securing a job is further difficult; full-time is almost very difficult. It is rare to find a job within the first 6 months of graduating. The average salary range is 50-90k. Students find jobs by networking, with the highest salary of 150k and the lowest at 40k

Lots of opportunities to connect with clubs and organizations of different interests, students at Sauder are extroverted, making it a faculty that is relatively easy to grow connections and make friends. UBC as a whole has hundreds of clubs that accommodate the interests of thousands of students and the campus is very well equipped in providing numerous facilities, libraries, and places for recreation.

Did not live in the dorms, lived off-campus where average rentals nowadays for a shared apartment (2 bed 2 bath) is around $3,000-$3,500 per month.

UBC has so much to offer. Wifi is available to all, separate libraries for different departments, free access to all research papers which usually require the public to pay an amount, and recreational clubs are endless. As a graduate student I don't find time to be a part of the clubs but if one wishes to, they can. Lastly the campus is HUGE with so many gardens, greenery, beaches and cafes. It's like a whole new city in Vancouver.

I have chosen to live off campus. Cost of living in Vancouver is comparatively higher as compared to other cities in Canada. My monthly expenses including rent, phone bills, utilities and groceries are between $1400-1500. The cost varies if you choose to live far away from campus or closer. The farther you live the cheaper. If you want to have a private bedroom, it's more expensive. Cost of living becomes easier once a student finds a part time job.

UBC is known for its campus: the facilities, events, clubs, location, etc. The campus is a town itself, and is absolutely beautiful. It has a beach (Wreck Beach) just 400 steps below which sounds like a lot, but isn’t when you descend, but maybe, when you ascend. It has various indoor and outdoor gym facilities, although the membership fee may not be attractive for some students, it has rose gardens, core buildings for student collaboration and social activity, the CALENDAR (an organization or UBC club that hosts parties and events for all sorts of celebrations), it celebrates diverse festivals from unique cultures, including Diwali and Holi (and everyone is eager to join in), as well as cafes and restaurants in and around the campus buildings, including UBC’s own club and pub inside one of the buildings (known as the NEST).

UBC has a variety of dorms, some with great community but lesser-quality facilities, and others with the reverse. They have dorms that you can share with others, I believe up to 4 or even 6 people, but each person in one room (the cheapest, which also tend to have a living room and a kitchen area so you don’t have to use the cafeteria if you would rather save up and cook), and double and single rooms (most expensive). The price also depends on the dorm you get into. If you get into dorms, you can expect to pay C$900-1400 per month, depending on your dorm’s qualities/closeness to facilities and newness, as well as type (shared or single). You also have to pay a separate fee for the dorm’s cafeteria, which is about C$3000-4000 per semester.

Campus life is fun, a lot of fun events take place weekly for people to participate in and feel like a part of a community both socially and academically.

Student housing is the cheapest accommodation option while at UBC, the rent is a decent price compared to off campus housing/accomodations.

Campus life is really good as I mentioned there are so many events for students to interact and connect. There are a lot extra curricular activities as well the only challenge is to spare time for all of that with your studies.

There was on-campus housing available. I would recommend opting for on-campus housing at least in your first term. It is a myth that it is expensive however with the increasing rent rates in Vancouver, BC it costs you the same. Moreover, if you go off-campus housing then you have to see the traveling time also.

The campus life leaves much to be desired, as there is a noticeable lack of engaging and enjoyable events and activities. Furthermore, the gym and fitness facilities fall short of expectations, with limited space that can hardly accommodate the number of students.

There are around 21 libraries and WiFi available everywhere. There is a huge stadium and running track. There is an aquatic centre with an Olympic size swimming pool. There are gym facilities available and there are quite a lot of committees in every department. There are also many campus-wide events happening every month.

I was living in a basement apartment off campus about 40 min from the university. There were public transport facilities available, so it was not a huge issue. The infrastructure is quite good and the facilities like laundry and grocery store are also all available within walking distance. There are banks available on campus. The cost for my accommodation was $825 + utilities per person.
