A question about UBC...

<p>Hey everyone, I'm an international student looking to apply to the University of British Columbia for fall 2009 entry.</p>

<p>However, a few people have mentioned that the school is more of a "commuter school". As a lover of the US dorm system and coming from somewhere so far away, this really put me off.</p>

<p>So, for anyone who is familiar with the school, is this true? If so, to what extent? What about other Canadian schools? Thanks!</p>
