University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) — Attraction in Prince George

Highly disappointed with my experience going to UNBC. The location is inconvenient, especially if you do not have a vehicle. It is very difficult to enroll for the recommended amount of courses every semester of you want to graduate on time. The layout of the buildings are incredibly confusing and security often cannot help you find your lecture halls and classrooms. Staff members, especially in the medical clinic, are typically disrespectful and have an aggressive attitude towards you. You will be lucky to receive responses from both professors and staff members when reaching out. If you live in the dorms you can expect to live with people who lack cleanliness and the process to move is very difficult. You can also expect to have mice, ants, and other insects live with you rent free. Housing will not offer effective and prompt responses or help when you are in need. The radiators typically don’t work and you will be told they work fine when they don’t. If you decide to live in on campus residency you will be forced to be on a meal plan for your first two years, you can expect to be served rotting fruit and vegetables and food that may lack inclusiveness for dietary restrictions. Be prepared for food poisoning from Agora Dining Hall. I would recommend off campus housing and to email both professors and ta’s if the course has them if you...

Nice place if you’re not an outgoing person or if enjoy to focus on your studies. Beautiful campus, but not enough study places. For example the library closes at 11 pm (on weekdays), as a night owl that is when I start studying at times. To this the dining hall is closed off to people that are not on the meal plan and cost around 20 or so bucks to get in otherwise. There is a new (great) study area but it is only for engineers and planners, which is a shame. Great profs and with more freedom (and better pay) they would be even more awesome. The only down side is not enough outdoor projects... which is interesting because we are surrounded by an amazing forest. If you don’t have to go to residence, don’t. I’ve had so many problems with them and they do not seem to care for their students (my experience, might be different for others). But res is close by and I still am in it, due to confinience. The dining hall made a bunch of people sick last semester and it is increadibly hard to get out of it when you are on residence. But I somewhat enjoy my studying here. It has a couple of skiing hills close by and downtown has nice restaurants. Dont know if I would do it all again, because it is super stressful (the uni life) and I...

Integrated perishable wood from pine beetle kill was an innotative solution for waste management, promoting biofuel substainability. LEED Platnium status for a minute arcitechnual enginuity of the BioEnergy Plant was innotatively stellar. And the contruction and establishment of Wood Innovation and Design Centre (WIDC), being one of North America's highest contemporary wood buildings, is remarkable. An outstanding respected instition, especially considering the age and size -- a progressive university of...
