NEW TO CAMPUS MEGATHREAD: Post all your admissions, housing, new-to-UBC and general questions here!

UBC COURSE QUESTION, PROGRAM, MAJOR AND REGISTRATION MEGATHREAD (2021/2022W & 2021S): Questions about courses (incld. How hard is __?, Look at my timetable and course material requests), programs, specializations, majors, minors, tuition/finance and registration go here.
MOD

Due to the overwhelming number of questions about courses, instructors, syllabus requests, majors, what-to-do if I failed, etc. during this time of year, all questions about courses, programs, majors, registration, etc. belong here.

The reasoning is simple. Without a megathread, r/UBC would be flooded with nothing but questions that apply to only a small percentage of the UBC population.

Note that you don't need to post rants and raves, shout-outs, criticism of programs, etc. in the megathread. It's limited to just questions, and things that could/should be worded as questions. That being said, it might take up to 4 hours for your post to be approved (except when we're sleeping).

Post-exam threads do not need to be posted here. Just wait for us to approve them. (Questions about exams belong here though).


Has my question been answered before?

You can search for past comments and posts about specific courses through redditsearch.io. Insert the course code into Search Term.

This will let you search through past megathreads as Reddit search is not the best for comments.


Suggested sort is set to new, so new comments will always be the most visible.

You are allowed to repost the same question on the megathread as long as its reasonable (not every 8 hours etc.), even if you've gotten a response.


Girlfriend red flag? Girlfriend red flag?

I introduced my girlfriend to some of my closest friends a few days ago and I found her to be pretty loud and constantly seeking to be the center of attention. She was also overtly friendly to one specific person, asking about horoscope and then searching to see if they are compatible and afterwards she kept asking about this specific persons past relationships and other things as well. I found it slightly flirtatious and so I asked her why she singled him out. Before we even went to go hang out with my group of friends she pointed out that this specific person was pretty good looking. I’m not a very jealous person but it felt pretty humiliating especially since I just introduced her to my core group of friends. I talked to her afterwards and her response was “I’m like that with everyone, if you think that’s a problem then you have a problem with my character.” The thing is, she wasn’t like this with everyone, just one person. She has always mentioned that she doesn’t want any of her friends getting to close to me and vice versa and I’ve always held onto the belief ‘don’t do things that you don’t want done to yourself’ so all of this is very confusing. Her thinking is that she didn’t know that I wouldn’t like how friendly she was with my one friend. What do you think I should do? Am I overreacting or is what I’m feeling valid?

She did eventually apologize but I still feel uneasy.
