Picture this; Bon Iver is playing in your headphones, you have a hot peppermint tea in your hands, the light rain pushes you to whip out that cool jacket you have been wanting to wear. Congratulations! You have made it, you are now a west coast indie kid. UBC has a stunning campus, and speaking from a commuter student- it is one of the biggest motivators that gets my butt to class. The education is top tier and quite competitive, which lends itself to be one of the top schools in Canada but, it’s not just all about academics. Whether you are a dark academia type, romantic, or a beach bum- UBC has got you covered while also maintaining an elite GPA.
