| Q1) How did courses and extracurricular activities change due to COVID-19? | |
|---|---|
| UCSD | All classes and activities were held in-person before the pandemic, but they switched to online for this term…It allowed me to take two classes in the same time slot. As for club activities, I am in a female lacrosse club, and we hold practices and meetings in-person every week even now. |
| UBC | I enrolled in the university this year, so I have taken only online courses. In addition, the university did not allow student organizations to hold in-person events, so the activities were online. However, I heard that they will hold in-person classes from the coming term, so I am very excited! |
| Q2) How can I find scholarships? | |
| UCSD | I looked for a scholarship program using the Internet…and I won a scholarship offered by a private organization. There are several private and public organizations that offer scholarships with varying amounts, so you should search for a program that matches your need the best. |
| UBC | I got a scholarship from the university. They set several scholarship programs to support students with different features, such as academics, activities, and international involvements. You should check the university’s website to find a program that matches your strength. |
