On this episode of in[Tuition], we chat with a friends of the show about their experiences taking GPA booster to get an "easy" A. We address if it's really worth taking GPA boosters and reveal some tips on how to do well in classes that may be a little difficult but covers topics that are actually interesting to you.

As students we are approaching a very stressful time of the term; just finishing up midterm season and preparing for final exams. Not to mention, we have other priorities that occupy our lives outside of academia. How do we mentally switch into those different priorities without experiencing cognitive overload and the common reaction to such demanding pressures-stress?

Many students in university undergo financial difficulties and this has significant effects to a student's academic well-being. We discuss and provide recommendations to what we can all do to perservere and triumph in those insecure moments.

In our first episode of the fall with our new hosts, Pauline and Tristan, we're talking about the thing that's on everyone's mind: midterms. We discuss what we can all do to get through the arguably toughest time of the academic year.

One of the great things about university is that eventually, you graduate. Unfortunately for us that means that Grace and Yadu are now off on new adventures. This episode, Grace and Yadu will share what they learned about podcasts, and themselves, this summer.

Soon we will be welcoming our new hosts, Tristan and Pauline. Stay tuned!

In hearing the word "entrepreneurship," many things may come to mind–TV shows like Dragons Den or Shark Tank, or poster-businessmen like Steve Jobs or Richard Branson. It is a path that is sexy to some, daunting to others, but through the innovation it generates, valuable and necessary for all. 

Join your new week's hosts, Brian and Pauline, as they explore what it means to be an entrepreneur, and how students can start thinking along the lines of entrepreneurship to capitalize on their skills, resources, and passions!

In this episode, Grace & Yadu briefly cover the history of pride in Canada before exploring student perspectives on what pride means to them. They are then joined by Khalid, a young, queer, and “carefree black boy” who attended the BLMV (Black Lives Matter Vancouver) march on pride–a peaceful protest against the what the Vancouver Pride parade is today.

Relationships form a pillar of the undergraduate experience. While that might go without saying, so do a number of invaluable pieces of advice that can make the pillar stronger and one's experience better. 

In this episode, Grace & Yadu share what they learned through university relationships and the importance of a "teamily," before hopping onto the imfamous UBC Confessions page where they spread some wisdom and glue together different student stories/scenarios with what it means to "stay true to your authentic self" to them.
