Tips and Advice from Emily

What three adjectives best describe you?

Ambitious, Attentive, Dependable

Where is your favourite place to study and why?

I like studying in the Koerner Library! It tends to be pretty quiet and is a generally comfortable atmosphere.

What is one activity you do to maintain personal wellness?

I love going on walks, whether it be by myself or with friends. It's a great and simple way to stay active!

What is your best study strategy/technique?

Trying to explain concepts out loud to friends can be really helpful in identifying stronger and weaker areas of understanding. Once identified, I can target my studying to focus on weaker areas.

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

I think I would definitely be more intentional about branching out, especially with clubs and school activities. It's really easy to get caught up in the workload of academics, and forget to pursue your interests and other activities. That's something I'm still working on now!
