Crispy.threads...UBCs on the back of my mind for med school 8-)
VT_scratchUBC was a great 4 years for me (2010-2014). I would say that generally speaking its less of a party school than what you'll find in the states or elsewhere in canada, but it's also one of Canada's / North America's top schools so you have some seriously smart and boring students there haha. UBC Ski and Board club is a good group to join for fun weekend trips and parties. Whistler student pass is like $600 CAD so thats awesome, and if you have a vehicle or friends with a vehicle you can get up to grouse to shred their park in like 40 mins from campus. They've been doing so much construction on campus and the facilities are way damn nicer than when I was there (dorms, student building, new world class pool etc). PM me if you have any more questions!

Crispy.How is grouses park and how is the rest of the mountain skiing?
Crispy.Ahhh I graduate spring 2019, will take a skiing-filled gap year, and then hopefully start 2021 if you want to wait :)
DeepskierI was graduating, 2019 but now im an early graduate and taking a gap year, but whem you come through to UBC hmu
Crispy.Youre accepted and starting? Congrats!
Brocka_FlockaAlso lots of Art Hoes if thats your thing...
RousedWitsGrouse Mt. Is literally a ski hill right in the middle of the suburbs of North Vancouver decently close to UBC, and open for night skiing. Imagine driving through a neighborhood and all of the sudden there is a fat tram going up to a ski hill... Dont leave anything in their lodge, I left my work boots under a bench, and they totally got stolen.
Also if your in downtown Vancouver, a warning about the "Downtown East side" area.. I was walking around one night, just exploring and came upon a stretch of 2 or 3 blocks with hundreds of homeless people packed shoulder to shoulder on the sidewalk openly doing hard drugs like heroin... Kind of a hard sight to see.
VT_scratchlmao everyone has a great first story about Hastings and Main
DeepskierLmao not yet, I should have made that clear but I'm determined as hell.
Crispy.Good luck!
Just realized I cant even apply since I’m not a Canadian citizen....way fuckin bummed. Any other good med schools with good skiing in the US? Washington? Utah? ....?
DeepskierLmao neither am I, you don’t have to be, I know a shot ton of us kids who go there. Like 61% of their undergrads are international
Crispy.For undergrad...pretty sure it’s different for med school.
