that's where you're wrong, i'm the funnest person at ubc and i'm in engineering. jk jk.
but yeah, UBC is fucking sick, come here anyways, who gives a shit how good the arts program is (i think it's pretty good anyways), you're guaranteed to have a fucking blast if you go to this school.  if you don't, you're obviously trying to avoid fun, especially if you live in residence, and even moreso if you live in totem park residence specifically.
