Tips and Advice from Sarah

What three adjectives best describe you?

Organized, Thoughtful, Kind

Where is your favourite place to study and why?

Koerner Library. I find that it is the perfect place to lock in before midterms/finals as well as study with friends.

What is one activity you do to maintain personal wellness?

Going on walks outside!

What is your best study strategy/technique?

Using practice questions whenever possible to test how much I know about the topic as well as creating summary sheets.

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

I would go to office hours more, especially for dense courses such as math and physics. Regularly attending office hours gives you a great opportunity to get your questions answered as well as listen to other students questions. It also gives you an extra opportunity to make more friends!
