Not sure if you read my post... but I just said that I go to UBC, and think it's a brilliant university. A beautiful campus, and everyone's really friendly. Really large campus (and university) though... Second largest campus in North America (the world?), beaten only by Yale I think, and 40,000 undergraduates. Personally I love this, but I guess some people may want a smaller university.
Also, with regards to UBC, I know that in the Arts program, you only choose your major in the third year, so you can spend at least the first year sampling courses to try and get a feel for what you want to do.
And if you are Canadian, you'll find Canadian universities are a LOT cheaper than American universities. They are anyway, but even more so for Canadian citizens.
Hope that helps... And maybe I'll see you at UBC in a couple of years
