[AmaizingDoucheMaster]

[lovelplants]

why? great school.

[ufaut]

engineering is sweet here, i m in 4rth yr havent once been to the sea or the forest. hahaha

[melo503]

CANNOT WAIT TO GO HERE FOR TEACHERS COLLEGE

3 year countdown.

I visited Vancouver and UBC 2 summers ago and fell in love

[xVincentx26]

Is it hard to get into this university?

I am an average B student and I really would like to attend this university after high school!

[tutrik]

Depends. Usually you need at least 90% to get into a decent program.

[crapcake101]

@xVincentx26 you need at least an A average to get in

[sriram87]

had there been just castle-like old buildings, one would mistake UBC for Hogwarts...

[AfterKnightShine]

Surrounded by nature (beaches and parks)...2nd best universities in Canada and 35th best in the world...City of Vancouver, rank 4th best quality of living in North America and 6th best in the world...so...why not?..Just so you know... I agree with Creebe... You forgot the CSIS and Engineering faculties :)

[GNSstudios]

It depends what you're looking at too. One respected group ranked UBC 28th I believe.

[fiyahballz]

and Forestry! That building is the shit.

Most faculties have some sick buildings. Alot of buildings have really cool nooks and crannies to study in. Also the upper floor of the SUB has this really cool fountain/garden plaza. Its sick.

[Creebe]

why didn't you show the engineering part of the campus?

[YingXingDeChiBang]

I think I will take UBC commerce after i graduate from high school =)

[tutrik]

sorry... I accidentally pressed the thumbs down. What I meant is "good luck" and maybe see you there!!

[YingXingDeChiBang]

Np np, Thanks~ haha hope 2 see u there

[burptholemew]

I'm choosing UBC because there are countless places where you can stealthily pee outside.

[HarvieKevin]

Anyone know how good environmental science is there?? Im coming there from the UK!

[poorna61]

almightly i want go there, !do u hear me???!

[indikaursidhu]

SUB isn't just a sandwich ..... though you can get them at UBC's S.U.B.....(Student Union Bldg.) Duh!!

[vik238]

lol.. true

[Neigeblackswan]

Is psychology good there?

[peaceinthemiddleast1]

one of the best schools for psychology, i've heard

[Alpinionforce]

@peaceinthemiddleast1  haha psyc here is okay but mcgills top for psyc in canada. econ and our language programs are probably are top subjects here at ubc

[queenofshiny]

@peaceinthemiddleast1

Is it really good for psychology? 

[theWall0719]

UBC!!!! Surrounded by nature in beautiful British Columbia

Rank: 35th in the world, state of the Art labs, cutting edge in research

It's Canada, so gov. subsidized (cheaper to go there)

Excellent Professors

50 000+ students

A lot of programs, plus Law, Med, Physio and other Grad. schools.

In the city of Vancouver (ranked 6th most liveable city in the world)

Why not?

[crosse69]

haha your reactions are priceless. Really?! I wouldnt have a class? I doubt that. Second of all, you ppl are taking my comment to the worst degree possible.

To the boundary comment, what does that have to do with UBC?. Its only UBC I have a problem with.

I would bet any day of the week that I am more well rounded and social then 95% of the people my classes. Just because im not afraid to voice my opinion doesnt make me ur definition of "antisocial"

[Chewy2513]

UBC why not?

Great experience!

[vik238]

Tuum Est.. All the way!

[bonzina16]

wow. you could have at least TRIED to sound enthusiastic!

[meavid]

The more people I met at UBC the more I liked the nature!

[crosse69]

Oh, also commerce for worthy faculties. Arts is a joke, might as well just work instead

[crosse69]

First of I go to UBC, before I make these comments.

Yes we are surrounded by nature, but it rains 6 months of the school year. I noticed all the filming was in the sun. Ive lived in Vancouver my whole life, and I would recommend other schools, unless you are in science. The rest of the faculties are a write off. As for international students..this might come out harsh, but theres soooooo many:(

[meavid]

"As for international students..this might come out harsh, but theres soooooo many:( "

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

[crosse69]

Pretty much what it sounds like. My science classes are full of anti-social people who cant speak english. Pretty crappy classroom setting if you ask me. That goes for many of the other faculties as for as I know

[meavid]

If you were in a foreign country and couldn't speak the language very well, there's a good chance that you wouldn't be Mr. Personality either. You sure this doesn't have something to do with their race? If they were all European would you mind?

[fusedblue]

maybe that includes you.

you would reach out to them first if you weren't anti social. people like you create problems in this country.

[JimmyChiffels]

do you even know how much money they pay to be in the school? its not really about the class setting...actually, without them you might not even HAVE a class.

[zkmoonea]

Im sorry, may i ask something about your comment? wut d u mean " can't " speak english?

[ukz1punjabiprincess]

I'd agree UBC is only for people into sciences, otherwise there are plenty of Universities out there for people.

[privatekt]

@ukz1punjabiprincess UBC's Social Sciences are some of the best in the world.

[MisoSouped]

way to go showing off your school pride guys. really going full out trying to outdo each other...

and honestly crosse69: wtf do you mean 'this might come out harsh"??? it's either true or it isn't but you just came off as a racist asshole while saying it. you must feel sick to your stomach just living in vancouver.

[crosse69]

Racist? Its the truth.

[ubercaffeine]

1. How have you lived in van your whole life and not gotten used to the rain? I went and visited a friend at Olds College (Alberta) in November. I've never been so cold in my goddamn life. I'll take being soggy the rest of my life than ever having my nostril hairs freeze again.

2. Unless you are in science, I recommend saving the money you'd waste on university and get a job. Although... I guess our tuition would be a lot higher without all the artsies' tuition.

[fusedblue]

you've lived in one place your whole life, and im pretty sure you will for the rest of your life too with a mindset like that. people like you never get out of their boundaries.

[Laferm]

what gpa do you need to get in (international)?sat?

[KikumaruXFuji]

@@。

UBC sure looks better on that video...lol.

[Westernwilson]

00:39 Mr. Barber! HE IS MY NEIGHBOR! Yup!

[robbiepy]

yeah the forestry building is the most outstanding one..

[patrickg2343]

what are the chances of getting in a geological sciences course or fresh water science course here with a 75-83 avg?

[poplove1980]

I am going to transfer from SAIT for commerce program. I know I should work harder in SAIT.

[ayoshi82]

Nice video, but you should have shown the most impressive building on campus: The LIFE SCIENCES CENTRE!

Yowza!

[iplanttrees8875]

Mmmmm, Id have to go with the Forestry Building.

[IAMBOG]

Ha, I was there today taking a class!

[greyestofblue]

how many universities do i know surrounded by nature? ...Only a few. I go to univ. of West Florida, we're located on a 1642 acre nature preserve. Both ocean, river, and woodland spanning from the campus. ...With that said. UBC looks great. anyone know about their med school?

[Powa2]

One of the best in Canada, rivaled only by Mcgill and Toronto's

[fuckmehardplzz]

ubc is the home of chinks!!!!!!

[Powa2]

That's one of the reasons it's top in Canada.

[fuckmehardplzz]

brown is too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hate chinks

[fuckmehardplzz]

actually chinks are everywhere now... damn chinks

[zkmoonea]

I'll say this too

[zkmoonea]

omg,realy?? so does t mean "u son of POM already got kicked out of UBC" ~~~

[zkmoonea]

anyway, we do need more native speaker in uni to keep from imbalance, you just can't beat that~

[Jersangg]

very good video!!!

[Saidice]

Hello everyone!

I'm a student in the united states with a gpa of about 4.8~(on a 5 point scale based on AP courses)

I will shortly be receiving my IB diploma, with atleast a 6 on all my exams, and i have a total of (5) 4 or higher AP exam scores in multiple courses.

I'm an eagle scout and an all state cellist.

What do you think my chances are of getting in?

[superbad33]

nice excuse to brag.

[Saidice]

Ha yes because I totally care about what people think on youtube.

I actually got alot of helpful responses from this thanks to those who did!

[robbiepy]

hahaha funny.. NERD

[Californialove187]

personal question? what was ur hs gpa and sat :D

[stoicnoise]

you're an international student? yay.

lol. im planning to go there in september

this year. glad you made this video.

on way to some up all the great stuff

UBC has to offer. :)

by the way, im an international

student too.

much love from the

philippines. ^_^

[janjanthebasswoman]

The University did not make nor fund the video, a student created the film. I thought the video summed up all the different aspects of UBC in just over a minute. Nice video...UBC looks like an excellent place to live and go to school!

[ap03at]

bad actor..lol

[mrswilde]

incidentally, it's ranked second in canada and like 36th in the world by the arwu07 rankings, and it stands in the top 5 in other lists...

wouldn't that qualify it as being 'one of the best'?

[Kino483]

ranks for what|?

[DaFoe604]

2 more years and im there... college first!

[Kino483]

oh so ur a transfer student from what college?

[whalerider88]

he didn't say the best, he just said one of the best, which is more or less true

so its pointless attacking him for what u "thought" he said

[vigilance2002]

Hmm, I got a few questions, best University in Canada? Where'd you hear that? From what survey? What cohort of people were interviewed? How is "best" measured? Government funded so it's the best? How is it the best?

[Buarawng]

He said one of the best; not the best. Listen what he says before sticking others.

[Shizmait]

Your secret is safe.

[Shizmait]

The forest and ocean part cracks me up. Only because its you.

[daskew32]

Hah, I know, I had a hard time doing that myself. Shhh... Don't tell anyone, they'll never know I'm not actually that cheesy in real life.

[Jurgmeister]

Man do i love that University...can't wait to go!
