UBC-O: what did your classmates do after grad, how much did everything cost

Published

Hi

So I got accepted into UBC-O, but I heard that it's going to cost me 8k a year just on tuition, not even sure if equipment is included, plus I am from lower mainland BC, so I will have to throw some 2k on that for rent/food. Not to mention summer term I will still need to throw in 1k for food. Thinking about this makes me nervous.

I would like to hear approximately how much you or any of your friends in/graduated from UBC-O nursing had to spend on the tuition, and if living expenses are high in Kelowna.

Also it'd be great to hear about whether people found difficulty being employed locally, or if they tried to get greater Vancouver/Albertan jobs and how they did with that.

Thanks!

Oh and approximately how many of the class passed the RN exam on first try.

I'm not sure about UBC-O or the RN program, but it costs me at least 7k a year here in Vancouver at UBC Point Grey. My tuition every year just for regular classes 10 courses a year, is about 5800-5900 plus books and random fees here and there. So I don't think 8000 is far off considering for the nursing program you're probably going to need more books and pay more lab fees.

Thanks :) And you the UBC-O one! They're nicer than I thought since they said I could finish my degree and start the year after.
