My Exchange at The University of British Columbia I found out about the 360 international exchange during O-week when was in first year and since then I planned on doing an exchange.

My Exchange at The University of British Columbia I missed orientation, but from what I heard, it was like UoA O-week on steroids. There were the usual culprits; introductory lectures, beach BBQs, and club stalls. My first impression of UBC came on the first day of classes. Everything was big. Buildings, towers, clocks, parks, fountains,…Continue Reading Nakita (Sem 2, 2022)
