If you encounter a first-year on campus or in your class, stop what you are doing and evaluate the situation carefully. Identify yourself — you are a fourth-year and this is an elective you are taking. Speak in a calm and confident manner.

As such — and as a connoisseur in really really really wanting, but not being able to, cuddle your dog because they are a billion miles away — I’ve written up a handy dandy “How to,” complete with everything you need to cope.
Sometimes the hardest but the most effective thing you can do is just saying, “hi.” Introduce yourself to someone sitting next to you in class or in the library. You never know how long a little bravery will take you. Just give it a shot!
So whether you can spend five minutes in between classes or an hour frolicking with the little furballs, the pups will be there waiting for you in the Nest's Lev Bukhman Lounge from 10:30 a.m. until noon.
So for all of you illiterate rabble who do not know how to interpret the art that apparently defines the times that you live in, I'm here to bring you up to speed on this art you half-glance at when you are rushing to class, you uneducated fool!

With a seemingly infinite amount of new developments, our campus is sprouting like mad. If you were away from campus this summer, there's no doubt that a few changes have caught your eye upon returning.

School is back! Whatever your situation, The Ubyssey has a list of things for you to remember when you come to campus. Follow this list and all of your UBC dreams will come true. You can trust us, right?
Some profs will also require you to have the exact same pagination as them, meaning it’s probably some obscure copy that was only produced five years ago. Find what books work for you and what won’t. Happy studying!
UBC students have united on Facebook to bring you “UBC Free Food.” This is a real-time feed where you can get your on-campus snack fix when you can’t hear yourself think over your growling stomach. Let the feast begin!
You’ve made it to Vancouver. Wait. You’re not in Canada’s most expensive city just yet. You’re in Richmond — the suburb south of Vancouver. To begin your university journey, you must first voyage from the YVR airport to UBC.
Upon doing this, they will send you the next two departure times of that bus. You can text up to two bus routes at the same time and Translink will send you the next two departure times for each route in two separate texts.
Students get a 10 per cent discount at Topshop with a valid student ID! I want to say “the discount is super useful when you’re buying clothes for presentations,” but I’m in arts, and I don’t dress fancy for presentations.
