Justin Zheng, a fourth-year student at UBC, said he enrolled in summer courses in part because the job he hoped to get fell through. When exams ended in April, he worried about how he would occupy himself and decided to speed his progress toward a degree.“It was scary for me not having anything to do,” Mr. Zheng said.
