Canadian colleges were much less expensive than in the USA. UBC has had great alumni and amazing professors in the past (some Nobel prize winners). Along with the amazing learning opportunities and financial reasons, the university's student life and the quality of life in Vancouver played a huge role in helping me decide that this was the uni wraith for me.
