Replying to Dear Vancouver/UBC Residents.

Hey I currently live in New York(so going to bc would be a huge change) and am thinking of throwing a transfer application to UBC. I think it would be amazing as I am an avid biker(whistler ect) and of course skiing (whistler ect). Im just curious what you guys think of the city, atmosphere, weather, school, sports, parties, drinking age, cost of living for an american, tuition (not listed on college board for some reason, dorm arrangement(can you live on campus for 4 years?) ect. Any one from the states going there? Let me know please!! As a reference of what other schools I am applying too...Tufts/Northeastern/UConn/Skidmore/Umass. Thanks so much!!!!
