Hi soon-to-be UBC students,

First, congratulations! You’ve made it through high school and university is right around the corner. You’re probably feeling a little nervous but excited and thrilled for a new chapter of your life. Over the course of my first year, I’ve compiled a small list of resources and tips that helped me throughout my first year. Here are a bunch of nifty tips, from borrowing a free laptop to finding microwaves around campus to heat up your lunch, so enjoy the read!

These tips extend beyond first year, so reference it back as you feel. Oh, and feel free to contact me if you would like to add to this list!
