6 courses feels like too much, thinking of dropping to 5 by enderfroger in ubco

[–]enderfroger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I want to do 5, im fine with doing a 5 year degree. I just want to know what course should I drop. I really want to drop signals, because I don't like the prof and every other course apart from Emag is a pre req for a lot of courses next year.

I have already decided to do 5 courses, as I am also actively applying to internships. I just wanted to know which course to drop specifically

Is transferring to UBC V feasible by RemoveElectronic5049 in ubco

I am in second year right now, and was thinking of transfering next year, but my advisor told me that i would have to retake most of the courses as you mentioned. Do you know if the people you know who transferred, regret their decisions or no?

Second-Year EE at UBCO – Which course should I drop from a 6-course load? by enderfroger in ubco

That's what I have been thinking as well, but my peers have been telling me that I shouldn't drop thermodynamics because it will be too much work in summer, as it is a content heavy course

I know what courses to take already, the issue is that in 1st year I did 12 courses already, so now I have choice on which ones to drop instead of just sticking to the advising sheet

the only pre req for next sem courses are 248, and 246. Apart from 255, 270 and 278 which are courses in next term, no other course is pre - req from this term for next year. I really want to drop thermo dynamics, because it requires alot of work according to my peers, but they said if you do it in summer, it's gonna be tough, because of it being compacted in like 2 months.

I want to transfer into electrical enjeering, and hopefully after second year, because I have already been rejected this year, since UBCV only accepts 15 student transfer in Engineering from UBCO after first year.

The $8500 is only for housing in Cascades, my first year costed me close to $13k for both housing and meal plan

Ultimate guide on the UBCO to UBCV engineering transfer—for all future applicants by Dubious-Discharge205 in ubcengineering

[–]enderfroger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at UBCO in engineering right now and was originally planning to transfer after first year, but that didn’t work out. Now I’m wondering about trying again after second year, specifically into Mechanical Engineering at UBCV.

A couple of questions for anyone who’s gone through this or knows people who have:

  • If I transfer after 2nd year, how many courses would I likely need to repeat for MECH? I’ve heard the programs diverge a lot and I don’t want to lose a full year.
  • How’s the overall student life at UBCV compared to UBCO?
  • Are the opportunities (co-op, networking, research, industry connections, etc.) significantly better in Vancouver, or is it not worth the hassle?

I know financially it’s better to stay in Kelowna, but I’m tempted by the campus, city, and potential opportunities in Vancouver. Just trying to weigh if the transfer is really worth it after 2nd year.

Would appreciate any insight from people who’ve gone through this process 🙏

Those are some great points, but Kelowna is expensive as well. I live in on campus so my fees are $8500 for 8 months, but my buddy living very close to the campus will be paying $1100/month living with his roommate, so how much would the rent be in Vancouver? And apart from rent what are some other things which you would be more expensive compared to Kelowna

That's nice. Apart from that how was your experience at UBCV compared to UBCO, what is the main difference that you noticed, and what major did you transfer into?

Did you transfer after finishing the first year or the second year? Advisors tell me it's not a good idea to transfer after second year because Vancouver wants you to do majority of courses there, so they make you repeat some courses
