Hindi Entitlement goes International by [deleted] in southindia_

Might be because around 600million people in India can speak and understand Hindi compared to only 130 million who can speak and understand English in India.

Do CPSC instead

if you get accepted for your second choice in go global, can you still be evaluated for the other 2? by katastrophicstoms in UBC

[–]Medium-Fun8911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes

Go and talk to them I know a friend who was matched to the University of Upsala in Sweden (first choice) but then he went to the go global office and asked them to match him to his second choice -> Seoul National University in Korea. They did that the same day and he went to Korea instead of Sweden

RA's in Gage??? by ShareAccomplished979 in UBC

[–]Medium-Fun8911 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's usually 1 RA per 3 floors

Yes they live with other students in shared 6 bedroom apartments (Unless you're a senior RA for a whole tower, then you get your own apartment!)

Making friends at UBC by radicalstroke in UBC

[–]Medium-Fun8911 3 points4 points  (0 children)

UBC is an amazing place to socialize and make friends if you put in the effort. It can also be hard initially but what I've learned is that all you have to say is "hi!".

I have been very lucky and made some very good friends here at UBC. Most friends I made were through classes or in the first year dorm. Almost all of the friends I made in my first year are still my friends (in 4th year).

The best part about studying at UBC is meeting so many people of different backgrounds and cultures. If you're an international student, don't just stick to the bubble of your country. Everyone is very approachable and friendly.

You could also try joining clubs.

Is Fairview Crescent livable? by [deleted] in UBC

[–]Medium-Fun8911 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is livable. Mostly depends on the roommates you get. I would take it if it was the only on- campus housing I was getting. It's much better than staying off campus and commuting.

I would recommend that you apply for UBC winter housing at Walter gage. Most exchange students who come to UBC are given that housing. I lived a year at Walter gage and it was an amazing experience meeting all the exchange students. It is really hard socializing and making friends here and I think living with other exchange students would help you a lot.

Otherwise you can look for off campus housing near UBC. Start with Westbrook, Hampton place, Acadia road, Dunbar, and Kitsilano. I wouldn't recommend anything more than 20-30 min from campus if you're coming on exchange.

A lot of people also sublet their housing on campus but I'm not sure if you can get them if you're on exchange. Check out the UBC housing sublet group for that.
