The University of British Columbia (UBC) Reviews and Ratings

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

The factors that drove me to UBC were obviously good education, but apart from that it was the lively campus life that UBC provides and of course the beautiful campus.

I chose this college as it had a Global ranking (one of the top 50 schools worldwide), Business program’s excellent reputation among other business programs in Canada, and the beautiful campus. My overall experience at UBC was insightful, eye-opening, and rewarding. The people I met and the knowledge I gained from learning at one of the best universities in Canada will be beneficial for my career down the line.

For my program UBC is ranked in the top 10 in the world. Additionally for my course, it provides all the required courses that I need to study in order to be certified for my profession in Canada. According to the BCBA website (Board Certified Behaviour Analyst), UBC is one of the universities that is verified to provide the required courses in order to attempt the certificate exam. As an international student, my experience has been great. The students are friendly, the professors are amazing. The course is extremely student friendly and if we plan properly, it's not stressful throughout the semester, including the end term exams.

UBC is diverse and contains a student and staff population of open-minded, multi-cultured, and mature beings. I have grown up in schools that nurture such an environment, and so I value these characteristics in people and in education. Being smart isn’t just about numbers and grades, it’s about how you think, view others, your drive in life, your ability to solve problems and critically think about things outside of x + y, because real life is so much more than just that. My overall experience at UBC is that it is international, tolerant, diverse, aspirational, and challenging enough. It gives you a variety of clubs, friends, and courses to choose from to suit your best interests, has great career and mental health counseling, decent-paying jobs at the university, great academic/research/work facilities and social activities, and much more. It may big enormous, but it prepares you for the world which is much, much bigger.

I would define my experience overall to be enriching. It is safe to say that in my journey at UBC, I have become more self-reliant and independent and most of all learned how to manage and allocate time to important tasks. All of this is still a work in progress, but definitely moving in the right direction.

The university provides a combination of well curated academic curriculum and lots of opportunities for extracurriculars as well. The infrastructure is at par with the high ranked universities.

The course duration was really good, however, there is no on-campus placement. The faculty and academics are commendable and overall my experience with UBC has been memorable. It was a great opportunity to study with such a good faculty and get so much exposure. To conclude, I would say to study abroad the first research should be done about the country you want to move to, does it has job opportunities or not then you need to hunt the college or university. Getting into UBC was a great thing however the moment I would get a job in my legal field then I would be on cloud nine.

My overall experience is okay. I am not very happy with the studies and curriculum as well as the campus life but i still got to learn a lot of things which I wouldn't have if I was to be still in India,

It was an amazing experience, especially since it was completely different from how the education scene is in India. You are responsible for yourself and your career. Seniors and mentors can only guide you, but you will be the one steering. There is a diversity in the professors as there is in the students. The campus is huge and beautiful.
