The econ professors I have had here have been either unprofessional or careless about their teaching. Most only care about their research and not the students, and overall the classes have been boring and lacking any sort of passion. I understand UBC is a public research university and that many professors will be more focused on research, but I have often had teachers who yell at students or act extremely unhelpfully. The workload is also quite heavy.
I know that UBC has a good reputation in econ, but I’ve considered transferring from UBC (to McGill, despite a lower reputation)



Given your experience in Econ at UBC, do you feel that UBC’s higher ranking means anything to the typical undergraduate?
