[kanadary]

i went to ubc for my engineering undergrad degree, great school, great campus although its changed alot, when i was there were wasn't any starbucks or condos, just student housing and B lot (parking was free). i did my masters at u of washington and although most of it was done via the internet i did have to go in for classes on the odd occasion. its alot different having a campus in the city vs one that on the outskirts. enjoyed both.
one thing i noticed since moving to the states is that alumnis usually will go back to their school when looking for new hires. that would be the only drawback if you decide to work in the states after graduation, while in canada, or atleast at bombardier, it didn't matter that i wasn't from the same university as most of the senior engineers that were hiring, it just mattered that i came from an accredited university with an engineering degree.
