Saanvi

Year and program: Fourth year; major in Political Science, minor in International Relations

Where is home for you? New Delhi, India

What three adjectives best describe you?

Organized, reliable, positive

What extracurricular activities have you been involved with (UBC related or not)?

I recently returned from a semester-long exchange programme in Amsterdam (one of the most exciting experiences!!) and am currently a tutor with MyGradeBooster. I am also a UBtheChange Student Activator with the Centre for Community Engaged Learning and a Senior Orientation Leader for Imagine UBC. Previously, I was an Associate Vice President and a director (Internal Portfolio) at the Arts Undergraduate Society and a coordinator for the Student Leadership Conference.

What is your best study strategy/tip?

Make an organized calendar before classes start! As soon as the class syllabus becomes available, I go through it to familiarize myself with the deadlines. I then make a calendar on Google Sheets with all my deadlines and monitor my progress on each assignment.
This is also a great opportunity to take advantage of UBC’s resources — UBC offers an assignment calculator that breaks down assignments into more manageable tasks with earlier deadlines, making the stress of meeting the final deadline significantly lower. The Pomodoro technique is also extremely beneficial, and allows me to stay highly focused.

If you could travel back in time to your first year at UBC, what is one thing you would do differently?

I would definitely explore the city more! In my first year, I spent most of my time on campus or in downtown Vancouver, and didn’t fully experience everything the city had to offer. I would also engage more actively with the UBC community. I didn’t get involved in many extracurriculars in my first year and soon discovered how welcoming and open everyone at UBC is. I would definitely push myself to join more clubs and volunteer opportunities.

Natalia

Year and program: Third-year, Psychology major and Interpersonal Development minor

Where is home for you? Lima, Perú

What three adjectives best describe you?

Outgoing, organized, and friendly.

What extracurricular activities have you been involved with (UBC related or not)?

APAC 2023/24, Mental Health Awareness Club (MHAC) First Year Committee, MHAC VP Events, Looking Glass Personal Recovery Space Volunteer, Senior Orientation Leader, AMS Peer Support, West End Seniors Network Friendly Visitor.

What is your best study strategy/tip?

Gradually reviewing study materials can make a big difference! One approach that really helped me was studying in small, consistent chunks. For example, after each lecture, I would go over my notes, or I’d spend time every weekend reviewing everything I’d covered that week. By doing this, I was already comfortable with the content by the time tests came around, making the workload feel lighter and helping to reduce stress!

If you could travel back in time to your first year at UBC, what is one thing you would do differently?

If I could travel back in time to my first year at UBC, one thing I would do differently is get more involved sooner. I would push myself to go out, join clubs, attend events, and connect with people right from the start, even if it felt a bit overwhelming. Building those connections early on and exploring different communities on campus would have made the transition smoother and enriched my overall university experience!

Gia

Year and program: Fourth-year, Psychology major and Special Education minor

Where is home for you? Gurugram, India

What three adjectives best describe you?

Compassionate, Confident, Engaging

What extracurricular activities have you been involved with (UBC related or not)?

Research, mental health, dance clubs, exploring Vancouver, taking sunset pictures, thrifting.

What is your best study strategy/tip?

Here’s my go-to study tip: Active Recall + Spaced Repetition.

Active Recall is all about challenging yourself to remember info without peeking. Instead of just reading, quiz yourself or explain the concept out loud like you’re teaching someone else.

Pair this with Spaced Repetition—review material at intervals over days or weeks instead of cramming. It sticks better that way.

Mix it up by switching topics in your study sessions and try explaining ideas in your own words. Stay positive, and set up a study space where you can really focus. Trust yourself to find what works best for you!

If you could travel back in time to your first year at UBC, what is one thing you would do differently?

I would be more open to experience. Looking back, I realize that my first year was filled with opportunities I could have embraced, but I was either too scared to go and put myself out there or I didn’t know how to manage my time well. Time management is something you can take help for, from people who have been in the same position as you are now. To put yourself out there, among thousands of students in your classes, residence, and clubs, might seem daunting but it will add to one of the best years of your life. Take that step!
