Time management. Don't fall behind and seek help immediately if you cannot figure something out. Once you fall behind, stuff piles up real quick. Pretty much the stuff you hear all the time but don't take to heart until it's too late

Only other thing I can think of is breaks. Some like longer breaks in between and some don't? I find it easier to load up class after class and finish it all with no down time between, and to start earlier than later. Just personal preference.

^ dunno about that, but a business degree is probably more useful than having a general arts degree, regardless of which of those institutions it came from.
^True but I think it also depends on what you intend to do with the degree. For example, economics is actually considered arts at ubc, so I guess the point is, don't do a general arts degree

bachelor of business administration at langara > bachelor of arts sfu/ubc
Pardon my lack of organization:
I recently earned my history degree at SFU and am currently doing my BBA at Langara to legitimize my eventual career as a Business Education High School Teacher/Social Studies Teacher. What I am about to say will probably piss off the reader. It is true there are more job prospects in Business. But quantity never equates quality. A history BA is much harder acquire, requires more effort to get and despite the abysmal applications outside of research, improves the analytical acumen of its graduates. There is some analysis in Business, but it is nothing compared to history. The writing skills inherent in a BA are elite compared to BBA majors (BBA graduates need strong written and oral communication skills). The jobs are limited in arts, but it depends on where you look and how you market your skills. A lot of people don't know this, but BA graduates can enter market research. There are also research careers, archive work, certain analyst positions and of course, the lowly teachers. A langara BBA is limited because there is only accounting, marketing, International business (which is very vague), management. I won't say much about accounting since it is the exception where I am sure it is booming with prospects. Langara's marketing is very broad and lacks the digital dimension where the most money can be made. It's heavily focused on promotional marketing, which stretches from retail to personal selling. The management and international business degrees are like the lazyman's alternative to the marketing management program at Langara because they do not encompass much. A lot of what is learned in the three programs (INT, MARK, and BUSM) can be learned on the job. Experience trumps the ego of a degree. I will add more to my rant later.
Anyone can get a business degree at Langara. Would it give you a job? No. Business is the discipline where you have to make connections, perhaps do co-op, get internships for the experiences. If you do not have the above, you're F****D. You can be brilliant and land the job by interviews, but without the appropriate experiences, you're really no different from the countless hundreds of applicants who applied for the same job. The person who will get that job is the person who has that competitive advantage (connections, experience). That degree is just a piece of paper you build on. You build on it with experiences and connections.
tl;dr: I can be an archivist or market researcher if I wanted to.
By the way, I can't seem to drop a course. I dropped a course I registered a month before the semester even started on April 2. Is this the reason why? Going to see the counsellor tomorrow to see whats going on.
Would suck if I couldn't drop a course because of that.
Got a question here. So my registration time was today for Kinesiology (June 26 1500). I login and go to register and low and behold all the available courses are full. When i do the course search they only show 4 classes for each course and they are all full. Some of the courses I need aren't even on the course list. I called the hotline but they were no help. Is there supposed to be so few courses even for the core ones. Right now I just managed to be waitlist for 2 kinesiology courses. Kinda getting worried at this point right now.

Some courses are only offered during certain semesters and yes there is usually a shortage of core courses that people need.

BC College Commerce Transfer Programs
Am I eligible to transfer to a BCom at Sauder?
To find out what credit you can transfer to UBC, please visit the BC online transfer guide for help. Then check out the required courses for admission to Year 3 (below).
Required courses for admission to Year 3
You must have completed a minimum of 54 transferable credits including the following courses to be eligible for admission to Year 3:
ECON 101 – Principles of Microeconomics
ECON 102 – Principles of Macroeconomics
MATH 104 – Differential Calculus. Acceptable equivalents include MATH 100, MATH 102, MATH 110, MATH 180, MATH 184
ENGL 112 – University Writing . A minimum grade of 60% or "C" is required in English. English courses taken at colleges or universities in countries where English is not the primary language do not satisfy this requirement. ASTU 150, ENGL 100, Arts One or CAP satisfying the Faculty of Arts Writing requirement is acceptable.
A minimum of five of the following second year core courses: COMM 290, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 298. No more than one of COMM 296, 391, and 392 may substitute for one of the second year core courses.
Important: Many COMM 29X courses are prerequisites to Year 3 option/specialization courses. While a minimum of five of the above COMM 29X courses is required for admission to Year 3, deficiencies in 29X courses upon admission may delay you from registering in your option choice until the academic session following your admission.
Average required to be considered for admission to Year 3
After you finish the second year of a Commerce Transfer Program at a BC College, you must meet a minimum overall average of 2.50 (calculated on the last 30 credits of your coursework) and a minimum core average of 2.50 on all your Commerce courses (including ECON 201 and 301 or their equivalents).
Documents required:
Final, official copies of your transcripts
UBC BCom online application – this must be submitted by January 31, 2013.
Additional documentation – proof of English language proficiency, SAT scores (for US students) and more may be required depending on where you’ve completed secondary school. Check with youbc/ Admissions for more information.
