hi all -
forgive me if there is a thread about this school already but i haven't been able to find one really so far...
i am looking to enter law school in fall 2011 and UBC has come up in my search. however, i've never been to vancouver (or anywhere close to it) and don't know what the school is like, what students think of it, job prospects for graduating law students, what housing is like, whether or not it is recommended to have a car there, etc. just the basic stuff. i also have heard/read some stuff about their courses about law in asia, which might be interesting for me as my undergrad degrees are in japanese and east asian studies. not that i am particularly interested in that area of law...
any comments, insight, or whatever would be helpful and greatly appreciated. thanks
PS. I live in Ohio and am planning on applying to various schools here, but I have been reading about how they are "regional" and I 1) don't care really to live here for the rest of my life and 2) have OSU as my #1 ohio school choice and don't really feel like going back there for another three years. and i hear great things about vancouver in general and it looks beautiful.
