Anybody at Univ. British Columbia?

Thanks for all the replies. Glad to see there are a number of TAs there.

35 000 odd students - it's massive. but it's also rated top 3 Comp. Sci in Canada & top-10ish for North America.

One of the big questions that I'm interested in getting answered is on the Residences. Since I'm going to have to stay in one for 2 years. Are there any I should avoid or especially try & get a room in?

Sean, everyone I have spoken to has warned me about the rain. I'll just pack a massive umbrella & a decent jacket or 2 or 3.

Sean, since you're in 3rd year now, what do you think of the lecturers? They seem pretty jacked & qualified, but what are their actual lecturing skills like & do they know their stuff?

Thanks
A.

i think the best residence to try and get into is the "thunderbird (T-Bird) residence". they are like 2 story townhouses (probly with a roommate or two) and very nice. as opposed to the appartment-style "gage" (4 people per appt). and i think t-bird is for grad students. i'm not positive on this, cos its been a few years since i attended there. when i was there, i stayed in "Totem park", 3RD KWAK babay w00t w00t!!!, which is where some of the 1st and 2nd year students stay (the cool ones ;)). needless to say it gets pretty wild in there lol, but dont worry, they wouldn't put a grad student in there. theres got to be more than 35000 students, there was over 40000 when i was there, and enrollment has increased, but not too important i guess. anyway, keep us updated.

:cool:

Yea, I had a look at T-Bird. Looks good. But it's also a little more expensive. I suppose it will depend on any scholarships, bursaries etc.

Will do. I'm aiming to send all app. forms etc by mid-November. Hopefully find out anything sometime after that.

vous des types êtes chanceux. Je souhaite que j'aie eu l'occasion d'aller à l'université en Colombie britannique. Tellement assez, les gens sont si gentils. Types de salut!
