[quote=Anonymous]It can be jarring to attend a Canadian university if you’re expecting the American model of residential life and student participation, because even at UBC it’s pretty different from American universities. Student life can be a lot more dispersed and plenty of students will be commuting from home in the suburbs or wherever in a way that is perfectly normal but would be unusual at a high-ranked university here. Like another PP said, you need to be ready to self-advocate the way you would at only the biggest least hand-holding US campuses. Maybe like UC Berkeley or UCLA. It’s in a gorgeous area with great access to the beach-y, outdoorsy parts of Vancouver as well as the urban parts. Housing can obviously get very expensive. I worked in Seattle and had a lot of colleagues from UBC and Simon Fraser.[/quote]
