<p>Hey all, I’m an American HS junior looking to apply as a drama/theater arts major. I know that UBC has some really great facilities (the Chan Centre) and Vancouver is a great place for actors to start because of the TV and film industry there, but I’m curious about a few things.</p>
<p>-How is the cost? A lot of the guides I’ve been reading say that UBC is a lot less pricey than equivalent American schools, but with somewhat less financial aid.</p>
<p>-Is performing arts one of the strongest programs? Would I be better off at Simon Fraser for that?</p>
<p>-Is it difficult for Americans to fit in there?</p>
<p>-And what about housing? I’ve done a little research on it-- apparently the dorms are nice, but only guaranteed for freshmen, and the Vancouver real estate market is ferocious. Can somebody verify this?</p>
<p>Many thanks!</p>
