SEP to University of British Columbia, Canada
It was a wonderful experience studying at UBC. UBC offers many diverse courses from the sciences to performing arts. Besides taking the 3 courses that I took to map my major requirements in NUS, I also took a music course and a religious studies course. UBC is located in Vancouver, a beautiful city framed by mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. There are plenty of activities to do there regardless of the season. In winter, you have excellent skiing and snowboarding; in summer, the biking and hiking is world famous. Beware though, I spent a winter snowboarding there and am now hooked on the sport. Imagine poor me trying to snowboard in Singapore now!
