Bachelor of business administration
✩✩✩✩
This degree was very expensive, but it works pretty well. I get decent returns on my investment. Because of the Co-Op Add-On, I got several job offers right after graduation. Would be five stars but degree was missing “social life” when it arrived. –MG

Bachelor of Arts, economics major

Nice – MG

Bachelor of Arts, communications major
✩✩✩✩
Overall, I’m satisfied. It’s useful. If you’re into writing about how reality is socially constructed until your fingers fall off, then this is the major for you. I like most of the profs, but the lectures could be a bit dry. Some of them just go on and on. I feel like I’ll be staying in school until I start wearing dentures. Plus, I can’t stand that joke from students in other faculties that comes with the territory: “What do you guys do in Communication anyway? Communicate?” For those who are considering Communication, you’ll be alright . . . I think. – TC

Bachelor of Arts, communications major

Degree did not come assembled, and did not include batteries. – AB

Bachelor of Arts, history minor
✩✩ +1/2
Degree did not contain sufficient mindless memorization of dates. Studying history, I was forced to do things like actually try to understand the broader context of why the world is the way it is today. Would much rather stuff dates of dubious import into my brain until I can’t take it anymore. Overall unimpressed with the teachers, who actually tried to engage with the students rather than scribbling furiously on a chalkboard and yelling at us to keep up. On the bright side though, I did learn that Canada isn’t part of the United States.  – AB

Bachelor of Arts, cognitive science major
✩✩✩✩
I learned a lot of cool shit about the brain. But I’m still not really sure what cognitive science is. All I know is that cognitive science majors don’t like it when their field is compared to psychology. – AR

Bachelor of Arts, cognitive science major
✩✩✩
The content of this package seems valuable in itself, but it lacks compatibility with the job market, which makes it seem a little useless.  – AR

Bachelor of Arts, philosophy minor
✩✩
Return Policy? – AR

Bachelor of Science, biology major
✩✩✩✩✩
I decided to study fungus as my speciality, and I have never made such a great decision. As soon as I began my study of mushrooms, I was absorbed into the superbeing that all fungus professors and students belong to. I now love the taste of dirt, hate sunlight, and make fungus-based puns at every opportunity. I know the effects of mushrooms on every livable species, and grow morels in my house just to be closer to them. Mycelium now threads through my body, and I no longer need to breathe. On the upside, I can finally say that I am a FUN-GUY – IE

Bachelor of Science, biology major
✩✩
I originally ordered my biology degree to deal with my employment problem, and so far, I have been very disappointed. To begin with, it was meant to arrive in four years, but ended up getting here in five and a half. Not only this, but upon receiving the product, inside was a piece of paper stating: “Employment not included. Look online for great deals on Graduate Degrees!” Buyer beware, I suppose. Thankfully, I just ordered a nursing degree, which will hopefully arrive quickly and finally give me the employment I desperately need. – IE

Squamish man rollerblades around the world to raise $1 million for bees

By: Heidi Kwok, Staff Writer Zach Choboter was on day five of a 6–8 month world-record-breaking journey when he picked up the phone for his interview with The Peak. The inline skater is aiming to raise $1 million for the bees and world hunger relief.  Choboter took off in Vancouver on March 1. At the time of the interview, he was somewhere on the northern outskirts of Kent, Washington, in good spirits after downing six shots of espresso after a coffee shop mishap. A dangerously high dose of caffeine was the least of his worries, however, as he nearly got hit by a passing vehicle while skating on the shoulder of a treacherous highway.  Why is he embarking on what some might call an impossible expedition encompassing...
