UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Vancouver, British Columbia

Only 30 minutes from the heart of downtown Vancouver, the University of British Columbia holds an international reputation for excellence in advanced research and learning. As the premiere school on the West coast, UBC offers vibrant student life: the annual Shrum Bowl, a football game against rival Simon Fraser University, the Great Pep Rally in September, many activist student groups, and progressive student media. UBC ranks in the top 10 North American universities in commercializing research and for its patent activity in the Life Sciences. The university also boasts some of Vancouver's best attractions and recreation facilities, including the Museum of Anthropology, the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, the UBC Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant Research, and endless opportunities to explore forested trails in the adjoining 763-hectare Pacific Spirit Regional Park.
