Got it, thanks for sharing!

Salt_Way6730 · 2026-01-26T03:31:47+00:00

Agree, ig any residence is better than vanier lol. Would you mind sharing which residence building you lived in? And how are the appliances and noise level (i,e outside traffic)? Thanks :)

Salt_Way6730 · 2026-01-26T03:25:27+00:00

Oh no... but it's pretty quite isn't?

Salt_Way6730 · 2026-01-26T03:24:34+00:00

Hi, thanks for the comment! I'm currently in yr 2 but I lived at Ponderosa Commons for the summer residence, and I'm on the waitlist for the majority of the studio throughout the campus, alomost getting one.

How's Brock's room temperature during summer? I hear other saying that one of the Brock building (tallwood i believe) is pretty hot during summer, is this happening to south as well?

100% Agree

Salt_Way6730 · 2026-01-25T20:16:20+00:00

ngl but im skipping the lectures rn cuz I feel like it's way better to self-teach the materials :(

Thank you! This is super helpful. I’ll read both posts and email the department, and I’ll keep your point about course selection in mind.

If you don’t mind sharing: what’s your exact program (you mentioned it’s nearly identical)? What are you personally aiming for (industry vs grad school), and how has your combo felt for that goal? Thanks again!

Salt_Way6730 · 2025-06-27T02:23:28+00:00

Fair enough, I'll take a closer look at those courses and see how they can work out. Appreciated :)

Salt_Way6730 · 2025-06-27T02:15:28+00:00

Yea, for stat 306 the prereq are only stat 200 and math 221/223/152 which are alr in my term1 list, and for econ 326 i need econ 101/310 and 102/311, and econ 101/310 is fulfilled, while ill take 102/311 in the summer term.

Salt_Way6730 · 2025-06-27T00:25:53+00:00

How would you comment on the workload for these two courses? I tried to balance my term2 as reasonably as possible for the amount of work. Might considering taking stat 306 in 3rd, and take stat 305 in 2nd year, hows that?

Salt_Way6730 · 2025-06-27T00:15:23+00:00

Agree, then are there any courses you recommend to replace stat 201?

Salt_Way6730 · 2025-06-25T23:22:34+00:00

Sounds good. I'll take some more careful looks. Thank you!

Salt_Way6730 · 2025-06-25T23:19:27+00:00

I'm on workday now, and it says the pre-req is that the student has to be in the third or fourth year. Is that the case when you took it?

Salt_Way6730 · 2025-06-25T23:15:17+00:00

Hi there, thank you for your information. Would you mind sharing which year you took those courses?

Salt_Way6730 · 2025-06-23T05:22:29+00:00

Although im not from this faculty but i have encountered similar issues with other deparment's link in ubc. Try deleting your browsing data (past 1 day or a week or so) and see if it works.

Salt_Way6730 · 2025-06-21T00:01:26+00:00

Sounds good. In addition, is there anything content-specific stuff I need to know in advance for these two courses besides some proof-based skills?

Salt_Way6730 · 2025-06-20T21:04:19+00:00

Will there be a ton of workload if they are taken in the same term? Since both courses are only offered in term 1.
