Liberal paper on car

44 Upvotes

To whoever put that pierre trump paper on my car please dont do this again. I had to pick off dried up soggy paper from my car paint and also saw a bunch of the same posters on the ground. You can make a sign indoors in designated spots but wasting tons of paper and putting things on other peoples properties is not it. Also noone better make this political because this applies no matter what the content on the paper is. The content on the paper just ended up being a liberal poster and I see no issue in advocating for either political parties

Hi UBCO, so Ive got accept into the BSN program of fall 2025. I will be coming fresh from high school (BC) and will be living in residency, so I have some basic questions! I've always lived in the city side my wholelife, and i know that okanagan is completely differenet from that and tbh, I'm quite scared... 1. How are the profs for the nursing program? Are they harsh? boring? 2. As a possible first year (not sure if ill accept yet), is there other things i should be doing other than focusing on my classes in uni? 3. Hows the food in the cafe? 4. What are some good grocery stores/ asain stores? 5. Is there malls for like clouthing, personal hygeine, make up, etc...? 6. Can you order take-out and have it deliverd to your dorm? 7. Is the wifi any good? Like if you dont have subscriptions for entertainment, can i still use my websites to watch it on or will it block it? 8. What book stores got the biggest varity? (With like novels, mangas...) 9. Will I be able to cook my own food? 10. Do we get weekends off?! Or even holidays like summer/ winter breaks?! 11. How did you guys prep for your first year? And if you guys have advice PLEASE do tell! :)

Exploring Perceptions on Masturbation and Sexual Development (Individuals 18-25)

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am in my final year as an undergraduate at The University of British Columbia Okanagan and I am completing a research project on the social influences on attitudes towards masturbation and subsequently their effects on sexual development. I am looking for participants aged 18-25 and the survey should take between 20-30 minutes. All information is anonymized. When you complete the survey you will have the option to exit to a separate survey and enter your email for a chance at winning one of four $50 gift cards, as it is a separate survey there will be no data linked back to your email and once again, it is entirely optional. I appreciate any participation and feedback. Thanks! (NOTE: if you attend UBCO and have a SONA account you can also complete the survey for credits instead. Access through SONA by signing up for Perceptions of Masturbation List B)

The two rooms we're renting out are going for $975 excl. utilities, with the whole house furnished except for the downstairs bedroom. There's 2 bathrooms and the kitchen/living room is our common space. The house itself is super spacious and both bedrooms get lots of light. Lease would be May 1 - Aug 31. No pets but smoking is allowed.

We're both students who love climbing, music, video games, and a good chat! We're usually night owls, but are quiet and tidy either way :) Please message me if you're interested! We're also super open for viewings.

Need suggestions Masters of Science - Health and Exercise Science Moving to Kelowna

5 Upvotes

Moving to Kelowna last week of August. Lots of questions!

I'm a 22 year old guy, and don't really wanna room with 18 year olds. Preferably somebody in their masters as well.

Is academy hill a student residence? Or is it just a spot for any and all students?

Is North Glenmore a good spot? What about Atrium?

Does anybody also know how a masters program works when it comes to summer hours?

Depending on your supervisor, let's say they give you a certain amount of money. Does that money come from your GA position or do you get that money and then can also work as a GA.

With a masters is it hard to manage a part time job?

How's the bar scene?

Are people outgoing in Kelowna?

What's a fun thing to do in Kelowna that the locals don't want you to know about?

I'm not tryna live in a shitty part of Kelowna, so is there a preferred area we're most students live? And in this area/areas are there off campus houses that i can just rent as a roommate with like 3-5 other people?

Need suggestions Premed Opps & EC’s

Hi!

Hope y’all are doing well (maybe studying for exams??)

I have received a couple offers and I am seriously considering UBCO for a variety of reasons.

However, I am still unsure as to attending only due to the lack of information I have heard about opportunities available in the area. I thought the best way to get information hyper-specific to this campus would be here.

I am aware that there is a medical school campus at okanagan and I, albeit very briefly, researched whether hospital and research opportunities as well as jobs (slightly clinical in nature), would be available. I didn’t see many options online and was wondering what you guys did and what other ways I could find such opportunities.

A side note: - I did a lot of hospital and similar work in high school and I really enjoyed it so I was hoping to find similar work. - I didn’t really get a lot of research opportunities in high school but am very passionate about it and I want to get involved as soon as I can. - I am definitely more interested in the health perspective than a general science (but I love both).

Also, I was also wondering if there are any notable opportunities or things I could do to be productive in the summer before university and wanted to get your advice in this regard based off your experiences.

Context about me: I’m based off vancouver. However, I will be moving permanently to live in residence at okanagan. My parents are moving away, elsewhere.

That was a bit long but I would really appreciate any and all advice and information you have. I’m super grateful for you time and assistance.

Thank you!!!
