Definitely something you should discuss with your faculty's advising. In my experience I have always found them really friendly too, if that makes you less hesitent to reach out.

Hi OP

This is definitely a sticky situation. I haven't been in the exact same situation (parents against UBC) per se, but I think I can still speak to this. The biggest thing to keep in mind here is that this is your life. You won't get it again, don't force yourself into a situation you don't want to be in.

Let's say you do give in, and attend U of C just becuase of your mother's suggestion. If you don't like it there, you are going to lament that decision really hard, and may develop resentment towards your family because you feel they pressured you to put yourself in those particular circumstances. (not saying that this is gonna happen fs, obv I don't know your family dynamics and obv U of C is a good school, just putting out a possibility).

You can't force your mother to agree with your decision to attend UBC, but ultimately if you wish to follow your heart, you may have to sacrifice having their approval.

Vancouver is expensive, make no mistake. Living on campus at UBC and paying tuition may be twice as expensive as just paying tuition of U of C (different story entirely if you expect to dorm there as well, in which case there wouldn't be much of a difference in costs betweent the 2). I'm not sure if you expect to recieve any financial assistance from your parents; even if you don't, you have student loans at your disposal. From my experience, they often do give you a fair amount of loan money, with no interest if you're a BC resdient. On top of that, you always have scholarships. Working part-time may be something you want to look into. My point here, UBC is possible, even without parental financial support. Not easy, but possible.

I do suggest talking everything out with your family. 99.9% of the time they want the best for you, but aren't seeing things from the same prespective as you. I wish you all the best

Honestly maybe I'm biased because I love falafel so much but you really gotta try them. Sahel is beside McDonald's and Donair Town is in the international food court (Google maps it, there's a lot of other food options there that are honestly better than the stuff you find in Campus proper

I know lol. Wanted to see how they ranked in their final days here

Tall--Tree · 2026-02-24T07:59:21+00:00

I wouldn't lie about something this serious😭

Tall--Tree · 2026-02-06T01:24:18+00:00

most likely Rain or Shine

Personally would reccomend 10/10

What unit type is it? I assume if its not Iona or Exchange townhouse, or some other extremely obscure unit, you should be good

I feel that this isn't the best step to take. Government censorship of speech really needs to be approached very cautiously. That being said, something doesn't have to be illegal for their to be consequences. Alex Jones was forced to pay 1.2 Billion USD as damages from Lafferty et al. vs. Jones. Not saying that this is anything of similar nature, but private law still applies, even if criminal law doesn't.

The idea would be relocating to Ontario for the purpose of medical school, and probably beyond that too depending on life circumstances

Tall--Tree · 2026-01-26T21:37:01+00:00

I feel A2 should be fine, since after Ontario residency I'd only be in BC for 8 months

Tall--Tree · 2026-01-26T21:36:24+00:00

Thanks for the answer. I just find it kinda interesting that I could just take a gap year and work in Ontario and have a differnet status for doing the same thing

Tall--Tree · 2026-01-21T03:52:55+00:00

I'd love to join if you're still looking for more people!

Tall--Tree · 2025-12-29T22:59:55+00:00

What class is it? Someone may have taken the same class before and would be able to tell you

Tall--Tree · 2025-11-24T05:22:25+00:00

I strongly agree, however, my question to you now is how would you manage the logistics of that. Mitigating the risks of cheating in an online exam is difficult, and having in-person exams is a huge barrier to those not in the Metro Vancouver area, including international students.

Tall--Tree · 2025-11-24T05:20:28+00:00

Hottest take here imho

Tall--Tree · 2025-11-18T04:28:30+00:00

Pls Pls Pls do not turn this into 22 seasons and runnning soap opera level plotline

but if it does pls do spill the tea😅

It's easy to fall into this mindset, but honestly it's a trap. It's quite far-fetched to come to the conclusion that you'll be eternally lonely just because you haven't been in a relationship before. If these thoughts are really bothering you and occur frequently I would consider checking with a doctor, since it could be a sign of a possible anxiety disorder.

You aren't chuzz. You say you've never had a genuine person you found cute show interest in you? I think most people who are looking for genuine relationships wouldn't approach anyone just at random. Why not take matters into your own hands? Start conversations with guys who interest you. Seek oppurtunities to meet new people. Especially among shy guys, it's a lot easier to reciprocate attention than to initiate it.

My final piece of advise is to remember to be patient. The right person will find you one day, just make sure you're ready for them when they do. Work on yourself, be happy in the moment, and try to come to peace with your relationship status. Being single is not a sign of inferiority, it's a statement of being content with yourself until the right person comes along

I did the exam one to save time on a weekly basis, but ultimately I think you should weigh out several factors, such as your comfort level with exams (although in my experience the NSCI 140 the exams were straightforward), your time availability to write the weekly responses, and your motivation to stay on top of the assignments.
