With 61,000 undergraduate and graduate students, people of all ages hailing from all over the world, call UBC home. While students may come from from all walks of life, there\u2019s still one thing they all have in common, they all go to UBC. So whether this is your 8th year at UBC or just your first, here are 10 things that will 100 percent happen to you at University of British Columbia!<\/p>\n

1. Forget your umbrella and it’s raining<\/h3>\n

Good old Raincouver! Whether you’re living on campus or commuting on the 99, one of those days you’ll be in a rush and inevitably forget your umbrella and have to walk up Main Mall in the rain.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Be late for your class because you’re standing in line for Blue Chip Cookie<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Blue Chip Cookies are amazing and everybody knows it! Thats why there\u2019s always a long line. And sometimes you just need one of those delicious cookies and you just don\u2019t care if you’re late for Math 104.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\n3. You join 10 clubs the first week of school<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With UBC boasting over 300 clubs its easy to get involved at UBC and find your niche.
\nWho also doesn’t want free food and free pens?<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

4. You will complain about UBC Secure not working<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The UBC secure wifi is way too finicky and you can count on it not working right when you need to submit your assignment on UBC connect.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

5. You will see either a movie or a TV\u00a0show getting shot<\/strong><\/h3>\n

UBC isn’t just a university it also doubles as movie set. TV shows such as Fringe, Supernatural, Smallville, and Battlestar Galactica to just name a few have all been filmed at UBC.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

6. You will ditch class to go to Wreck\u00a0Beach on a nice day<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Class is important but getting your dose of vitamin D is more important. With Vancouver\u2019s rainy weather you’ll definitely want to take advantage of the nice days and spend them at Wreck Beach basking in the sun.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

7. Fall asleep in the Aquatic Centre<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We\u2019re university student and we definitely need naps! The warm air and the smell of chlorine are guaranteed to make you fall asleep.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

8. Thinking you can get from Buchanan D to CIRS in 10 minutes \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sometimes you just have to schedule back to back classes that are a literally a mile away from each other. But you gotta get those credits though. You’ll realize its time to invest in some running shoes.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\n<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Take a picture at \u00a0the Rose Garden for instagram<\/strong><\/h3>\n

UBC hands down has the most instagram worthy campus and the rose garden is no exception. Go get those instagram likes.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

10. See more squirrels than you\u2019ve ever seen in your entire life<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For some reason UBC has a lot of squirrels and amidst all the construction they\u2019ll still be there. After a while seeing 10 squirrels in one area will become the norm. The squirrels at UBC are so popular they even have their own Facebook page #Goals.<\/p>\n
