work out at the gym, if you would like.

13. What surprised you about campus? What surprised me about the campus was
how big it was. I always knew that UBC was a big school, but visiting it in person,
it was like a small village. Another thing that I wasnt expecting to see was how
many programs there are, and how UBC is one of the 50 best schools in the
world.

14. What did you like about the campus? What I liked about the campus is that there
is a lot of freedom to do a lot of things in the university since it is so big,
technically you dont even have to leave the campus for all of your basic needs
and wants and I liked how they have so many programs to offer for students.

15. What did you not like about the campus? What I didnt like about the campus was
that since it was so big, it was a lot of walking and its harder to get advice and
help from professors because theres so many students.

16. How long was the tour? The tour was about two hours long.

17. Would you apply to this Campus? Yes.
