    first off.


    YOU ARE PATHETIC. stop it. you contribute absolutely nothing to any forum i see you poke your ugly mind into.


    As for the forum poster, congratulations! After finishing up at Western and having visited Vancouver I wish i had gone to UBC. Its in a gorgeous area of Canada, a beautiful part of Vancouver, and it offers what Western did (a school in the suburbs with easy access to the downtown) however its Vancouver, not ... London icon_confused.gif

    You also have a great location in terms of future education and job opportunities being near Seattle and California, not to mention Vancouver itself.

    Congrats again!

    Congrats!

    Once you are out of Edmonton..don't ever go back! LOL! The attitudes and atmosphere of Canada's west coast are very liberating.

    Edmonton is a great place for everyday living but quite isolating for out of town adventures, with the next major city 3hrs away.

    You'll notice a difference!

    I have always wanted to go to Vancouver. I hope to go there on vacation sometime in 2011. I hear it is an amazing place and very beautiful. I've only been to Toronto and Montreal in Canada and loved them both.

    Ignore everything Caslon says. There's a bunch of Negative Nancys here on RJ and he's the leader of the pack.

    Vancouver is awesome.. I've been there 3x.

    The drive up to whistler is gorgeous. Did that drive pre olympics so the curves were very windey and interesting.

    I am not much of a skiier, only have done it 1 time. Hopefully another time soon.

    Have a GREAT college time and yes, Davie street is where it's at!

    Yeah Vancouver isn't frozen. There are many parts of the US that are far far colder. We just get really wet here in the winter icon_razz.gif

    I've lived here all my life! And I think its pretty cool here icon_smile.gif

    Hey, welcome to the hood!

    Vancouver is an awesome city. The gay place is obviously Davie st, there are more gay guys there than anywhere else in a 1500 km radius. It's kinda flamy though, and full of party kids.

    As a city Vancouver has it all, there's plenty to do, good facilities for sports and it's just one of the most aesthetically appealing cities in North America.

    So here are some shots I've taken, but there is so much to explore that it will take you a while to see it all:

    OK that should be enough to convince you it's beautiful here icon_biggrin.gif

    Congrats, UBC is awesome (at least their campus is!) I've never taken a class there.

    Ok, the basics of Vancouver are as follows:

    It's a very outdoorsy city, there's lots of green space, hiking trails and places to cycle/rollerblade. Stanley park and the Sea Wall are too of the nicest and busiest outdoor areas in the city. UBC also has the infamous wreck beach attached to it, the nude beach, which is cool in the summer. There's a gay area too, but I stay on the main beach to avoid creepers.

    There are TONS of restaurants in the city. Lots and lots of Asian food but we have other types too. Let's just say you're never far from sushi.

    Davie street is the centralized gay area with a couple of pubs, a nightclub and a clothing/sex store. There's a bookstore/pornstore called "little sisters" that has a bulletin board with events on it, that's a good place to start if you want to check out gay events.

    Events in general are horribly unadvertised around here. So do your best to keep your eyes peeled for anything you want to go to.

    One last thing to note about the buses going to UBC...they're kind of unreliable, often full. Most people I know who went to UBC WALKED into their final exams to avoid being late. Keep that in mind!

    Enjoy UBC

    Ah, proof that east coasters are clueless when it comes to the west. My points are:

    1. Vancouver BC, like Portland and Seattle are part of the cascadian biozone, which is a temperate rainforest not as you put it "less frozen north". The weather here is much more moderate than the seasonless he'll hole that is the Chesapeak bay area.

    2. There is a royal navy base across the sound next to Victoria (on Vancouver island), as opposed to Edmonton, which has no coastline, Alberta has prarie with cowboys and not ships and sailors.

    Caslon, the way you ask questions is insulting, and self centered. I know from living on the east coast that that sort of questioning is par for the course, but out here, where we ace common courtesy, it doesn't fly.

    SHAN37. Welcome to the west coast!
