Reviewing the last video about UBC campus
We're now at Sauders Business School
This is where I did my MBA
I spent a year and a half here and it was an unforgettable time
Because of the epidemic
I won't be able to show you inside today
But I know that the facilities inside are fabulous
I might show you sometime in the future
I heard that it's quite hard to apply for Sauders now
It's very competitive
Mom, did you study here before?
Is it hard to study here?
Well. When I was doing my MBA here
I got up at 6 o 'clock every morning
and couldn't go to bed until 1 or 2 o 'clock every night
Wow, only 4-5 hours of sleep
And there were almost no weekends for me
Only during long weekends
I might have one day off
I was always doing projects or writing papers on weekends
It seems that studying here is very hard
Yeah
We're now at Marine Drive Students Housing Services
The dormitory condition at UBC is very good
There are facilities such as gym in many dormitories
Some rooms even have an ocean view
The living environment is fantastic here
and it's safe to live on campus
Most important, you can save a lot of time living on campus
As you know, studying in universities in North America is very intensive
So living on campus is a good choice
I would like to remind you here
If you are going to study at UBC
When you get the offer
The first thing you should do is to apply for a dormitory
Because the dormitory condition at UBC is so good
while the number of dormitories is very limited
Now behind me is St. John's College
It's my dormitory when I studied at UBC
It's also where I have the deepest affection for UBC
Even though it's called a college,
It's actually a dormitory for graduate students
It was funded by the alumni of St. John's College in Shanghai
So you can see the Chinese name of St. John's College
The conditions here are very good
All rooms are studios with washroom
equipped with all the furniture
There are shared kitchens
But in fact, all three meals a day are included
in the buffet-style canteen
The idea here is to get graduate students from different countries and different disciplines
communicate more over the meals
Therefore, various activities are organized here
We also had formal dinner for every festival
Here I made many friends from different backgrounds all over the world
The admissions to St. John's College is no less than those to universities
Transcripts and essays are required
and references too
This street is called Lower Mall
It used to be my route to school everyday
In spring, the street is especially beautiful
with cherry blossoms on both sides
I even saw the polar lights in the sky one night
That day I worked very late on the project till two o 'clock in the morning
So if you want to see the polar lights, study hard
See, there is a wolf
It's right in front of us
It's so close to us. It's so cute
It's a real animal
And it's a real wolf
In the street
It's running on the street
We know that campuses in North American are usually quite large
And there are no walls around them
There are many alarm booths like this in UBC
In case of emergency
You can press the red button
I'm going to talk about this building right behind me
It's called SUB, the Student Union Building
Its biggest characteristic is that it is expensive
It cost 107 million Canadian dollars to design and build it
Because of this, UBC is called Canada's "Richest University".
Come and see it with me
There are retail stores
and some restaurants
There's also a theater
and climbing walls
Due to the pandemic, it's not open now
Let me show you the pictures I took before
Doesn't it look like a nest? SUB is also called The Nest
This is the old SUB
This is the back of the new SUB
This is the soccer field
Behind is the gym
Right ahead is the Aquatic Centre
Unfortunately, the Aquatic Centre is closed during the epidemic
It is worth mentioning that
Such a beautiful swimming pool is free for students
Other adults only pay 7 Canadian dollars
You'll get a better deal if you get quarterly or monthly membership
Next to the Aquatic Centre is the Bus Loop
A place waiting for buses
Behind it is the gym
This is WesBrook Village
There are many living facilities such as
supermarkets, drugstores, opticians, dentists, hair salons, restaurants and so on
It's very convenient
Today I am very happy to show you around UBC as an alumni
When I was in Guangzhou
I've been working with other alumni to organize
orientation sessions at the Canadian Consulate General in Guangzhou
To share your experience with the incoming students
and answer their questions
If you have any questions about UBC
Please leave me a message in the comments section
If there are many questions
I'm going to do another video to answer your questions
If you are an alumnus locating in China and Hong Kong
looking for alumni associations
You can send me a private message
I can put you in touch with
the head of alumni associations in China and Hong Kong
That's all for today about UBC
