UBC is just like any other business, they're out to make money. Sure they'll say they will up the amt of scholarships, but a quick scan of the room in my old t-log classes will yield at least half of the class being international students from China, Mexico and the like.

While many of you who are in Science actually can see the physical improvements of your facilities, we at Henry Angus never got to reap the "benefits" of a new building that to my understanding is still not finished (gotta ask my sis). The worst part? I was a year or two removed from grad, and they had the audacity to get a student to call me, posing as a fake mentoring program thing and ask me a bunch of shit about courses, wasted half an hour of my life THEN leading to a donation sales pitch. They wont even give you any type of info unless you paid them 100 bucks minimum or something.
removed? lolwut
sounds like someone forced you with a gun to do your post-secondary education.
and that note about international students..they pay the REAL price on the cost of a standard north american university education. As already mentioned us domestic students are paying for a subsidized amount. TBH I don't mind the international students on campus...you learn a lot from their way of life and it beats talking to a group of arrogant CBC Sauder kids.
