My experience at Langara was awesome. I didn't expect to meet so many fun classmates which would soon turn to study buddies and exceptional friends. During my first year at UBC, I met a lot of friends, but we weren't that close. At Langara, I met less friends but what can I say, "quality over quantity!"Most of my profs were phenomenal. The part that made my learning environment was definitely the size of the classrooms. Get to know your professors, ask them questions, answer questions, and in turn you'll develop a good relationship. In fact, my old prof asked me and a few other classmates to go have dim sum next week!
This is for those who are planning (or is waiting to) transfer into UBC, SFU, etc..
I'm a third year transfer student who got early acceptance in around March. I was a first year UBC Arts student who reallllly wanted to get into Sauder. Unfortunately, due to my core average (I think it was around 71%), my somewhat strong supplemental didn't help me enough.
It's still quite early, so keep your head up and don't let anything bother you because their decision is not in your control. If you still plan to transfer, try to attend or continue to attend a local college such as Langara. I did this (was a little worried at first), and ended up studying my ass off, have a social life, and get a 91% core average. If you get "rejected", don't worry because there's another chance and if you work hard enough, you'll get in. Also, I put a LOT of time onto my third year personal profile.
If anyone has questions regarding transferring to Sauder, post here or just shoot me a PM!
Good luck everyone!
