im thinking of going there for engineering, but i would check out UVIC first, UBC has gotten some bad reviews from actual students, as good as a rep it seems to have. i know a guy in business at SFU who likes it a lot

...why bump a 7 year old thread???

anyways, I go to UBC and I like it. Vancouver is a nice city to live in, and being close to Whistler is awesome of course. I lived in one of the on campus apartments, and met lots of cool and fun people. there are lots of skiers. academically, it's a pretty highly ranked school too.
