Hey so i recently failed my first year at ubc sauder and was wondering if anyone of you are going through the same thing. And if anyone HAS gone through it what was the average at langara when you reapplied to ubc ?

I know this is not the right place and I'm sorry but I just wanted to get this off my chest. I feel like a failure. Im failing my 2 computer science courses and barely passing my other 2 courses and this is only my first semester. I sometimes wish I could just go back in time and redo everything, wherever I went wrong. I feel like I disappointed myself. Not only myself, but my family. I don't know what to do anymore. I am contemplating between taking a semester off or just employing better strategies. Like some of the students here at langara, I want to transfer somewhere. But it just feels like a distant dream that's only inching away more and more, making it harder for me to reach as my first semester is coming to an end.

Hi everyone I applied to the MOA program in Langara at Nov 14, and still haven’t gotten an email back till now. How long would it take to get a hear back? Also did anyone get employed right after?

Hi, As I don’t have more classes for this semester, they all r finished. Like the last three weeks of my dec I’m free. Can I work full time in these three weeks..

I am wondering if anyone has successfully transferred from Langara to SFU SIAT’s program. I want to transfer as a mature student without needing to complete 24 credits. I did my research on bc transfer guide and most transferable courses cannot be used towards SIAT’s program. If anyone has can share their personal experience, please dm me. Thank you!

has anyone taken crim 1213 with Andree Faucher or any crim class with them? they don't have a rating on rate my prof so im not sure if they're good or not :(

Hi GUYS,

Coming 2025 Spring semester, I would be taking BIO1191. I was wondering what tips do you have for this class?

I took BIO1190 with Han Qi (Wayne) Zhao and he was very helpful and straightforward with his slides. Nothing out of ordinary and seems to follow the learning objectives. He was so far the best prof I have for BIO. However, he is not teaching BIO 1191 for Spring 2025 and the professors for this course are also strict. Not to mention that there is no more space to register. Therefore, I took a class that the instructor is to be announced, so just wondering how did you guys prepare.

Also, the reason I'm asking is because I will visit my family and stay there on the first week of classes, so I won't be able to see the material for those days. I'm pretty nervous to come on the second week and feel lost in the class.

Please let me know what you guys think.

Hey! i'm taking Maryam Samiei for cpsc 1030 next sem. It will be an online course with in person labs and I was wondering if anyone could speak to how hard her tests, finals, and quizzes are? I've also never taken a cpsc science course before or really ever coded so please lemme know the difficulty.

I want to do engineering at ubc, but my most recent second language course was French 9. Could I go to Langara and take first year engineering and the required language courses before transferring to ubc?

Hi, what are some 1st-year English courses with a literature focus (novels, prose, essays, poems, film, etc.) that are feasible to get 90+ in with effort? Hoping to take 2 over the summer. Thanks!

hi everyone, i’m coming in here for an inquiry because i’m not sure what to do. basically, i’m trying to take french 1117 (intermediate french) because i have experience in that field as i’ve done french immersion and you need to take french 11. HOWEVER when i registered for the course they said that i did not have french 11 on my prerequisites even tho i do AND i did french 12 immersion level as well???!!! idk if im making sense but pls help

Currently I am enrolled in three courses but I slacked off way too much this sem and I will probably fail two subjects of three. I know it's " "consequences of my actions" and shii and I am fully responsible but what will happen after this? It's just my second sem and ofc I am worried .

Hello everyone, I just want to know how many people having trouble with ircc new update there we need to apply for a new study permit before changing institutions. I transfer to a new institution for the spring semester but now I need to apply for a study permit and the processing time is 14 weeks. It doesn’t make that ircc expects us to apply for a new study permit in one/two months from the day Ircc announced on Nov 08. And I applied ytd. It is impossible to get back soon before the spring semester starts. That is pissed me off. My plan was screwed.

If you have the same situation, what is your plan now ?

Yall is anyone else having issues registering I’m only supposed to have engl in the spring semester but every time I try to register it says class is full and waitlist is full my registration time was today at 1000 so it’s not like I could register earlier idk what to do here

Hi everyone, I’m choosing my courses and wanted to ask if anyone has experience with Bijan Farrahi as an instructor for CPSC 1050. The other sections are full, so I’m debating whether to take the course with him this semester, wait for another instructor next semester, or stay on the waitlist. Any feedback about his teaching style, workload, or overall experience would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello, i’m trying to register for my course and this description “This section is scheduled on campus once per week, with other online activities available asynchronously” was posted underneath. Can anyone help explain what this means? 

I was wondering if langara covers any physiotherapy or massage ? Is it full coverage or part , was having back ache

just wondering if anyone has successfully transferred out of province 🙏 looking at schools in toronto specifically

what is the acceptance rates for the bachelor of science program, bachelor of FNH, and bachelor of applied biology? specifically for langara to ubc transfer, not high school admission rates. trying to make a decision of which to choose for first and second choice for UBC application :)

because it makes so much sense to have 8 1215 and 1115 courses, and then 1 each of 2320 and 2321.

Be SO for real right now. There was 100 students in my 1215 class alone this semester. Assuming even half of those will want to take the classes that follows, that's around 300-400 students fighting for 72 spots.

Do better Langara.

What are my chances in getting in the course? I am number 1 on the waitlist for Chiu and 5 for Mahdad. I am new to this so I don't know if I should wait

I’ve heard a couple different deadlines for applying to UBC science, one was December 1, and the other was a later date in January (can’t remember the date exactly)

I was wondering what the actual deadline is or if the different deadlines have different requirements or something along those lines? for people who have applied, would it be better if i apply on December 1?

I activated my registration time on 12th November but was still given 28th November for my registration time so of course now that I registered, the waitlist is full so i can’t register into my mandatory courses to transfer at all or even my electives. Is there anything i can do about this like maybe email the professors? Or anything else

In between my classes I like going to the L building to study since I like snacking and I’m not a really big fan of complete silence while I study. However, lately there’s been a crazy amount of students sitting at the seats blasting music while watching videos, facetiming at full volume without headphones in, and even singing out loud. I was never expecting complete silence, and I am more than fine with people chitchatting, which is kind of what this space is for. But when did people stop having any kind of respect to people around them? Needless to say I will be going to the library from now on.

Hey does anyone know if https://langara.ca/student-services/academic-advising/university-planning/sfu/applied-science/computing-science.html are all the required courses I need to finish before applying to sfu? Im just trynna see whats the bare minimum of courses so I can apply to sfu comp sci.

hey y'all i'm currently waitlisted for biol 1191 (position 6 with 3 seats open) and i'm trying to find others who've also been waitlisted for the course but got in during past semesters. if that's you, how high or low was your position on the waitlist when you registered?

is it worth waitlisting or should i just go with a different prof?

I can do both but I am not sure which one would be better for my future. I am thinking about eventually go to Sfu for cognitive science. Not sure yet tho.

Hi everyone,

I'm a new first year student here in the mathematics major and I'm trying to make a decision on whether I should continue commuting or just move out to some shared accommodation near campus. I currently live in Langley and just one way to school is already two hours (so four hours a day total). I also work 5 days a week between Richmond and downtown Vancouver with some days turning into 10 hour shifts and then me attending evening classes right after. Going from school to work all the way back to Langley is genuinely driving me insane and I'm falling behind in my classes because when I do allocate study time in the evening after work and class, by the time I get home I'm too exhausted and drained to even do anything from the commute (and a bad home environment) so I straight up just end up not studying and resort to pulling all nighters before the exams just to pass my classes. Should I just give in and take out loans and continue to work to move out? Or is it really worth it to continue commuting to save money but at the cost of my grades and wellbeing? I really like my major and it makes me sad that I don't spend much time focusing on it too, so any advice would be appreciated, thank you guys.

Hi new student here, I am seeing courses with several seats available and several waitlists. What is the probability of getting a seat and can someone explain this?

Thanks.

Is it all random? I’ve got a competitive GPA and my registration starts tomorrow, and half the classes I want already have waitlists. What’s the deal here?
