In photos: How UBC students celebrated their snow day

On February 12, UBC shut down its classes for a snow day. Some stayed at home and cozied up watching Netflix. Others hit the slopes or the trails for a wintery hike. Once classes were back on Wednesday, some celebrated with the snow ball fight on campus. Whatever it was, our photographers captured some of the chilly memories.

The long way home

We don’t always think of students as migrants. Their stay is considered temporary — they can become migrants once they graduate and start applying for permanent residency, or get a full-time job. But students, international students in particular, are migrating every time a new semester starts.
