UBC Econ: Interesting People & Teacher Accessibility?

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I’ve just finished my first year in Sauder, and I have a question for UBC Economics, or all Arts, students.</p>

<p>By the stunning lack of creative and genuine minds at Sauder, I’m prompted to transfer into Economics. But I want to make sure I don’t go into a faculty where I won’t find what I seek. </p>

<p>So, how would you rate:

  1. Teacher Accessibility – teachers who are passionate about developing the minds of students, throwing ideas around, and chatting about the course
  2. The number of interesting people – I want to surround myself with people who are intelligent and outgoing, creative and practical; are they there? Or are they just mathematicians?</p>

<p>I guess it is hard to qualify whether the atmosphere in Economics is more intellectually stimulating or not; there will be passionate and enthusiastic students and teachers everywhere you go. </p>

<p>Why do you think that Sauder lacks substance?</p>

<p>Update: I’m in Sauder for the time being. Not enough info on Economics. Taking a few econ courses next year. Will let you all know.</p>
