Tips and Advice from Charlotte

What three adjectives best describe you?

Passionate, Determined, Reliable  

Where is your favourite place to study and why?

I love studying in Peter A. Allard School of Law Library because they have really spacious tables with plugs for all my devices. It is also very silent so great place to go for some focused, and solo studying whenever I need to catch up with a bunch of tasks or preparing for exams.

What is one activity you do to maintain personal wellness?

I love running as a way to clear my mind and connect with others. I've recently enjoyed exploring the trails along Pacific Spirit Park then going throughout campus to explore new places I've never been before.

What is your best study strategy/technique?

My favourite studying strategy is making mind maps. I love using the whiteboards around campus to make large connections of concepts, chapters, and ideas from memory and then going back to my notes and adding anything I missed.

If you could travel back in time to your first year at UBC, what is one thing you would do differently?

I would recommend joining more clubs, I was extremely focused on making sure my academics succeeded and spent most of my time studying in the library. I wish I could have gone back in time and joined at least one fun club to meet new people, join the UBC community more, and have a more relaxed first year!
